The New Orleans Saints continue to look for players to improve the team’s offense after a miserable 2021 season. With Alvin Kamara facing a potential suspension for his alleged role in a Las Vegas fight during Pro Bowl weekend, New Orleans has reached out to free agent back Sony Michel. The 27-year-old was with the Rams last season, rushing for 845 yards, and has averaged nearly 800 yards per season since joining the league in 2018. The Saints have also had talks with former LSU and Cleveland Browns wideout Jarvis Landry. Landry has been one of the most productive receivers in the NFL over the past eight seasons, with 688 catches for more than 75-hundred yards and 37 touchdowns.
