The Saints have 3 left tackles as free agents next year, Jermon Bushrod, Jammal Brown, and Zach Strief.
The Saints also have over 25 players in free agency, they have a lot of work to do in signing players. So it is my opinion that the Packers could snag one of these left tackles, even without a new CBA, a trade could also land the Pack one of these tackles.
We watched starting left tackle Jermon Bushrod play yesterday in the Super Bowl. He did struggle a little bit, but that Colts defensive line is fast. He is only in his 3rd year, weighs 315 and is 6-5". He has not reached his potential yet.
Jammal Brown is a 2 time Pro Bowl player in his 5th year at 6-6", 313 pounds who was put on the IR this year due to a sports hernia.
The Saints also have Zach Strief, who has played and started in the NFL for the Bears and Denver, a very good back up.
I don't think the Saints can keep all 3, nor can they keep 2 tackles of the caliber of Bushrod or Brown.
So which one do you think the Pack should go after? I think this is a real possibility if TT is willing to go after it and would fill a big need for our team before the draft. The Saints can lose one tackle and still have a viable backup on the roster.
