This seems like an eternal question for the Saints.

I jumped on the Derek Barnett train last draft. That plan flew out the window when Marshon Lattimore fell in the Saints’ lap.

The Saints rolled with Alex Okafor on a one-year deal. Now Okafor’s injury complicates the situation. He looked well on his way to garnering another contract by being a nice complement to Cam Jordan on the other edge after inking a one-year deal last offseason. Then he ripped up his Achilles tendon in the Washington win.

You’d think Okafor could return for the start of the 2018 season.

The Saints found some lightning with George Johnson. Trey Hendrickson isn’t going anywhere.
