Guard, Joe Thuney

Joe Thuney is going to end up being arguably the most sought after offensive lineman in free agency this year. He checks all the boxes, age, talent, IQ, durability. Everything you could want in a lineman Joe Thuney embodies.

In a total of four seasons with the New England Patriots, Joe Thuney has not missed on start with the team — not one single start. Talk about durability, Thuney is going to go out and protect your quarterback every single week.

With Andrus Peat most likely on his way out of New Orleans, the Saints will be looking for a lineman to replace Peat; however, Joe Thuney is not going to be that option because he is going to cost more than the New Orleans Saints are willing to pay.

Do not let the fact that Thuney is currently making $803,000 confuse you. The strong offensive lineman is going to demand at least a four-year, $34 million deal. Unfortunately, that number is just too high for the Saints, especially when they could easily have his replacement on the team.
