I haven't really followed him much, other than reading that he was a good safety. What are his strengths and weaknesses?

Veteran. I wonder if his presence, on the cheap, would be as much to mentor the two young safeties as anything else. A McCown for the secondary.

Drafted 15th overall in 2013. 5 year starter who’s put up 381 total tackles, 4 forced fumbles, 7.5 sacks, 30 pass break ups, and 8 INT’s. He’s around the ball a lot, but I read he’s missed 9 games in the last two seasons due to injuries.

His scouting report says he’s a great open field tackler, very physical and solid against the run. Can play the nickel CB if needed, but he doesn’t hold up well against #1 speedy WR types on the backend.

Saints up against the cap so Vacarro was expendable. Especially being injured and not playing at an all pro level. However, would be very useful as depth to our secondary and as mentioned above a mentor to our young guys.

Would almost rather save the money in case a quality offensive lineman gets let go. That is our biggest need (edge rusher a close second).

It's great to finally say that QB is not our biggest need.
