Alontae Taylor, Saints Free Agent

Top 5 New Orleans Saints Free Agents, Ranked

3. Julian Blackmon

Julian Blackmon is perhaps the most overlooked of the Saints free agents, and it’s easy to see why. After establishing himself as an above-average starter during his five years with the Indianapolis Colts, Blackmon bet on himself and signed a one-year, prove-it deal with the New Orleans Saints. Unfortunately, injuries prevented him from resetting his market, as he suffered a season-ending torn labrum after just one game.

Blackmon is a good player when healthy, and his season-ending injury makes him the perfect target for another one-year, incentive-laden deal. New Orleans needs more depth in the secondary, and this pairing could be an ideal short-term match.
