The New Orleans Saints must find a way to sign free agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, a player that may have an interest in coming to the Big Easy.

While many thought the New Orleans Saints offseason activity had come to an end, think again. Well, let’s hope they should think again as there are still several quality free agents on the market, one being Jadeveon Clowney.

Clowney has expressed interest in playing for a playoff contender, but which one is still up in the air. It’s clear that Clowney’s desire is to finally be on a team that will have championship-or-bust potential.

That’s what the Saints can offer the star. The Saints fit the mold for Clowney’s next franchise perfectly, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be spending 2020 in the Big Easy, especially given how limited the team’s cap could be if they sign him.

If that’s his desire over seeking a large-value deal, New Orleans should be his next home. With a one-year deal written all over him, New Orleans would be a perfect place for the former No. 1 overall pick. Many consider Clowney a bust, but a ring with the Saints may change all that.

That said, let’s dive into five reasons the Saints should heavily target the defensive end.
