It seems awfully early to be asking the New Orleans Saints, “What have you done for us lately?”
But the NFL scouting combine kicks off in less than two weeks, and the free-agent signing period begins March 5. So it’s already time to start working on that repeat.
The good news is that the Super Bowl champs likely will be able to keep their roster mostly intact. Assuming the NFL heads into this year without a salary cap, as expected, the Saints will have only two unrestricted free agents in their starting lineup — safety Darren Sharper and outside linebacker Scott Fujita.
Chances are the Saints will be able to keep both, and they’ll likely also hang on to tailback Reggie Bush despite his exorbitant $8 million salary in 2010.
