Larry Warford will be 26 in June. So the #Saints get a guy younger than Leary and Zeitler. Future.

Saints attacking first day of FA like a team that's finished 7-9 the last 3 seasons. Gotta respect the self-awareness.

Heard at combine that Saints were keeping eye on top of the guard market. Interest in Kevin Zeitler definitely fits that expectation.
