Von Miller, Denver Broncos

The biggest ticket player on the market is Denver Broncos linebacker, Von Miller. The rumor has been circulating as of recent that the Broncos could tank and put Miller on the trading block before the upcoming season.

If that rumor turns out to be true, the Saints might be interested in a franchise linebacker. Von Miller has been a Pro-Bowler every year since he was drafted in 2011 except for one. He was also a first-team all-pro selection in 2015 and 2016.

The price tag on Miller would be quite the feat though. A player of that caliber would require either a high draft pick or a player of the same caliber. The Saints should be willing to give up a high draft pick for the security of Miller.

He has also only had two seasons since 2011 where Miller did NOT have double-digit sacks. He also averages over 20 hits on the quarterback every year. He would add a huge threat to opposing offenses.
