With Tanoh Kpassagnon out of the lineup for the foreseeable future, where does that leave the Saints?
that Tanoh Kpassagnon tore his Achilles in the offseason. While the veteran pass rusher has not been ruled out for the year, he will miss training camp and won't be ready for Week 1. So, where does that leave New Orleans?
Currently, Chase Young is out of the mix for OTAs, but he is around the building doing rehab and is on track to be ready for training camp. Cam Jordan is ramping up and getting close to returning. That leaves the Saints with Carl Granderson, their leading sack artist from last season, Payton Turner, Isaiah Foskey, Niko Lalos, Nathan Latu and Trajan Jeffcoat. We also haven't seen Latu on the field yet. On paper, things do look like it could work here.
The two biggest names on the list bring their own set of challenges. Last August, Ngakoue signed a one-year, $10.5 million deal with the Bears. That's not exactly the type of spending we should expect from the Saints. For Ogbah, he's coming off of a season-ending triceps injury and was later released by the Dolphins in late February. Harris appeared in 13 games for the Lions last season, but didn't make a large impact for Aaron Glenn's defense.
As exciting as it could be to turn to free agency, the Saints most likely stay put and roll with what they have and see how things play out in training camp. They can easily sign someone from last year's squad like Kyle Phillips, assuming he's interested. If they were to take a flier on Bowser, that could be interesting. There's some intrigue to players like Trajan Jeffcoat, and more interested is needed there.
