The Saints of New Orleans were clearly not shy in free agency.
Whether it is to keep some of the best free agents of the team or turn to the free market for more talents, the saints have done everything it can. This had led the team to win tender wars, but also to lose.
New Orleans would have beaten the Eagles of Philadelphia and the Tennessee Titans in an auction war for the former security of the Kansas City chiefs, Justin Reid. Now Reid will be with the saints for the next three years after entering a $ 31.5 million contract.
An auction war that the team seems to have lost is for the former corner half of San Francisco 49ers Charvarius Ward. Ward joined “The journey with JMV” And shared that he actually thought that he signed with the saints until the “last minute” before the Indianapolis colts rushed and did not conclude an agreement.
“Originally, I thought I was going to New Orleans,” Ward said. “The agreement was almost concluded. Then the colts, I guess they realized how much I am a player, and they came and somehow beaten the saints at the last minute.”
Ward was one of the best corner half available on the free market. He ended up winning a Three of $ 54 million over three years with the colts. Ward is a unique professional bowling player, a Super Bowl champion, and would have given the saints a good help after losing Paulson Adebo.
An agreement did not work, but it is pleasant to hear that the saints have been aggressive.
