The New Orleans Saints will have free agent D-back Derek Cox at the team's training facility on Airline Drive tomorrow. Cox played four seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars after being selected in the 3rd round in 2009.
New Orleans taking a slow, methodical approach in the early-goings of free agency. The Black and Gold also expressed interest in former LSU defensive tackle Rickey Jean-Francois, who is visiting the Eagles today.
I'm also told the Saints have not reached out to free agent Linebacker John Abraham for a visit or any discussions.
Butler update: If the Saints are indeed interested in linebacker Victor Butler, it will likely cost them in the neighborhood of 4 years and $16 million dollars, with about $3 million to $4 million guaranteed. Not the most expensive deal, but might be a bit to pricy for the Saints, given their cash flow issues.
