3. New Orleans Saints
Last Year Record: 7-9
Key Additions: TE Coby Fleener, DT Nick Fairley, ILB James Laurinaitis
Key Losses: WR Marques Colston, G Jahri Evans
Big Games: Sep. 18 @ New York (N), Oct. 30 vs. Seattle, Nov. 17 @ Carolina, Dec. 18 @ Arizona
The Saints defense ranked 32nd in points and 31st in yards last season. The additions of Nick Fairley and James Laurinaitis should improve the overall defense, but not enough to turn this team into a playoff team. Their defense is still going to struggle against most NFL offenses.
Also, Drew Brees is aging and he is now 37 years old. The quarterback position is a tough position to play and it is hard to recover at his age. This is the year we may see the decline in Brees because of this, and if that happens the Saints can’t recover or compensate for it. It may be time for the Saints to consider finding a new quarterback or rebuilding the entire team all together.
