The New Orleans Saints' offseason has drawn significant criticism, with debates looming over their free agency strategies. The franchise's decision to retain players rather than overhaul the roster has split opinions among fans. Most notably, retaining Chase Young at a reasonable $17 million per year is seen as a prudent move, given his potential for a breakout season. However, the retention of Juwan Johnson and Dante Pettis lacks clarity despite their decent performances.

Yahoo Sports' Frank Schwab awarded the Saints an 'F' for their offseason maneuvers, an assessment that many find harsh. While the team has made some necessary adjustments, including adding safety Justin Reid and bolstering their defensive line, concerns linger about salary cap management. Despite the bleak grade, the Saints still have considerable cap space to enhance their roster should they choose to pursue more impactful signings.
