Which Saints defensive players do you think the Falcons will sign now that Ryan Nielson is our DC?


Recommended Posts

You know it's coming. We hire Arthur Smith and Dave Ragone and next thing you know we are hiring Titans and Bears players left and right. 

Now that we got a defensive coordinator from the Saints you know it's only a matter of time before we start bringing in some players from the Saints defense that Ryan Nielson has coached before at some point.

So my question is which Saints defensive players or past defensive players do you think the Falcons may try to bring in?

Gardener Johnson (can play safety and nickle)

Davenport (I know the board hates this move)

GJ is on the Eagles. 

Davenport just seems like he's going to get massively overpaid for what he is. His market value is at $23m per year right now and that's a lot for a guy that averages less than a half-sack per game throughout his career.

GJ played with Nielson on the staff I believe so they may be a relationship there as well.

1st. DT David Onyemata, LB Kaden Ellis they should be top on the list

2nd. DE Davenport and DT Street. cheap 1 or 2  year contracts

3rd. This is if they cut them S Tyrann Mathieu , DE Car Granderson , G Andrus Peat 

Id love Matthieu. I’ve wanted him here for years

He’s Fonty’s boy. Would be interesting what he thinks of him

No he's not. Font had nothing to do with drafting for the saints. He was the director of PRO scouting with the saints. Idk why everyone keeps thinking he was the saints gm or something. 

 

Hopefully he hates the dude and keeps him as far away as possible

Funny because every time a saints player turns out great, it’s repeated ad nauseum how Fonty plays a huge part in projecting a pro comparison to players in the draft process (something he himself has said)
The saints wouldn’t have traded extra 1st round picks for a player if they didn’t project him to be something great
