Like every NFL team, the Saints hope to improve and succeed in the upcoming season, but to do so, they need to build around these four fundamental players.

The New Orleans Saints have had great regular seasons and pitiful playoffs for the last three seasons. Finishing 13-3 and 12-4 in the last two, they were Super Bowl favorites in both seasons, but they finished within the first two rounds in both seasons.

As they look forward, changes are going to come.

Most likely, Drew Brees is going to retire this year making them make a change at the most important position on a football team. Within the next years, there will be copious players’ contracts that will expire.

When it comes to who the Saints draft and who they sign in free agency, all of those decisions need to be made around the central points of the team. In reality, there are only four of those points that without a doubt are the center of the team.

These four players are the key to the Saints’ long-term success. In 2021 and the future, these players will be the constant in play and contracts. Here are the four players that the Saints need to build around to see success in 2021 and the future.
