With the New Orleans Saints free agency coming up, there are several players that the team should not look to re-sign.

The New Orleans Saints fell short again against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the divisional round of the NFL Playoffs. Now, we jump ahead to the offseason leaving 2020 behind us and looking forward to what is coming for the black and gold.

The two major offseason events are the 2021 NFL Draft and the 2021 NFL Free Agency period. The NFL Draft is exciting in and of itself and we will get to that in later articles, but for this one, we are going to discuss the NFL free agency period for the Saints.

The team has over ten free agents this year entering the period. That means that they aren’t simply just going to be able to re-sign all the players that they previously had last year. Hard decisions are going to have to be made.

Those decisions are going to center around which players not to keep. Based on prior performance, current performance, and market value, here are the top three players that the Saints should NOT look to re-sign this offseason.
