The New Orleans Saints somehow convinced Jameis Winston to return and back up Derek Carr at quarterback on a pay cut in NFL free agency. What it means about Winston's market, why there's definitely not going to be a QB-battle and what it means for Andy Dalton's future in the Big Easy. The Saints, have their former starter as their new fallback.

David Onyemata, Kaden Elliss, Shy Tuttle and Marcus Davenport all depart to other NFC teams like the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers and Minnesota Vikings. Will the Saints be able to survive the defensive exodus, what role Ryan Nielsen played in it all and what it all means for the Saints' offseason, free agency and the NFL Draft.

NFL Free agents like A'Shawn Robinson, Sheldon Rankins and Taven Bryant all make sense for New Orleans along with Mario Edwards Jr. and Jaleel Johnson, but draft prospects like Calijah Kancey, Mazi Smith and Bryan Bresee could be the difference makes the Saints are most in need of. And don't sleep on edge rushers in this year's NFL Draft either like Adetomiwa Adebawore and K.J. Henry.
