3 players the New Orleans Saints should consider signing

DT Willie Henry

Led by Sheldon Rankins and Malcom Brown, the Saints kept five defensive tackles on their 53-man roster and one on their ten-man practice squad. However, with two on the field throughout the bulk of the game, New Orleans could use an extra man on the line.

Willie Henry could be that guy.

A surprise cut by the Ravens, Henry, at 25, has upside. While many of the Saints current linemen are 24 or 25, Henry, the former Wolverine, has shown an aptitude on the line. His rookie season, he was a solid contributor.

He started three games, recording 3.5 sacks and recovering two fumbles throughout the season. He saw 14 appearances. He came back in year 2 and played in just three games, not finding his rhythm throughout his second season.

Then, Henry wasn’t overly impressive at camp or in the preseason and was cut. He should have another chance in the league although he wasn’t able to make it on one of the best defensive lines in the league.

The Saints have a relatively stacked line as well, but Henry would be at least considered for the team’s practice roster that has just one defensive tackle or defensive end.
