Valdes-Scantling landed in New Orleans midway through the season last year and was fairly productive amid all of the team's struggles. He’d be a good weapon for Carr, or whoever their quarterback will be, if they can get him on a good deal. It’s unclear if he’d want to stick around.

At 36 years old, new Saints coach Kellen Moore has just become the youngest head coach in the NFL. And he thinks that gives him an advantage. Moore used the term “tremendous value” three times when discussing how he can relate to players who aren’t much younger than him — and the Saints might even end up with a player older than Moore on this year’s team.
