Doctor Kildare Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 According to PFF, PFF names free agent Saints can least afford to lose in 2023 MARCUS DAVENPORT! “Davenport has struggled to stay on the field throughout his five years with the Saints, but if he leaves in free agency, they’ll have very little talent to speak off on the edge outside of a 34-year-old Cameron Jordan on the final year of his contract, with 2021 first-round pick edge defender Payton Turner a healthy scratch for much of his second season. Over the past three seasons, Davenport’s 19.0% pass-rush win rate ranks 14th and his 14.2% pressure rate ranks 17th among edge defenders. The Saints simply cannot give up that level of pass-rush productivity because he’s played only about 475 snaps a season — that is, unless his asking price takes him out of consideration, which is entirely possible.” ======================== Beyond what he can do for the Falcons, what his absence can do to the Aints make him an interesting choice. https://saintswire.usatoday.com/2023/01/29/pff-free-agents-saints-lose-marcus-davenport-stats-injury-history/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFanSince1969 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Just no. We've already seen what his absence does to the saints considering he only plays about half a season every year.

Doctor Kildare Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 There is another Aints FA pass rusher, Kaden Elliss, a linebacker with 7 sacks last season who figures to be a lot more affordable. Another project who developed nicely under Nielsen. TheRisen999 and FalconJim 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
