Full list of the Saints 2022 free agents
As things currently stand, the New Orleans Saints will have 30 different free agents to evaluate in the spring. Many of them are unrestricted free agents who will be able to weigh offers from any team; a couple of them are exclusive-rights free agents (ERFA) who can remain in New Orleans on a low-cost contract tender, or not play at all; and a larger group is made up of restricted free agents (RFA) who the Saints can retain at a modest price that guarantees right of first refusal to other contract offers, as well as potential draft pick compensation. Here’s the full list:
