What Saints’ free agents are worth paying?

Considering all types of free agents and team/player options, the New Orleans Saints currently have 24 players set to hit the market. That is over an entire starting lineup. Now, most of them are bench players and role players.

However, the New Orleans Saints are going to have to choose to pay and who to let go. All three quarterbacks in 2019 are currently free agents. Starters including Vonn Bell, AJ Klein, Andrus Peat, Eli Apple, and P.J. Williams.

There are also very reliable backups on the market including Patrick Omameh, Jonathan Bademosi, Stephone Anthony, newly acquired Manti Te’o, and Keith Kirkwood. With everything being considered, the Saints have tough decisions to make.

Multiple aspects are going to go into these decisions. However, in order to fix the issues that need fixing, the Saints will not be able to pay each one the many they deserve. Therefore, the players will have some tough decisions to make as well. Is it worth it to them to take less money to continue to play in the black and gold?
