METAIRIE, La. -- Trey Hendrickson's timing couldn’t have been any better. The New Orleans Saints' defensive end had one of the NFL’s most surprising breakouts in 2020 with 13.5 sacks -- just before he was set to hit free agency.
As a result, Hendrickson might draw more interest around the league than Saints safety and fellow free agent Marcus Williams.
But for the Saints' money, Williams is probably the one they would rather invest in long term because they have held him in higher esteem over the course of four years -- and they are thinner at the safety position than they are at defensive end.
