The New Orleans Saints made moves to strengthen their pass rush by acquiring Anfernee Jennings through free agency and Tyree Wilson via trade with the Las Vegas Raiders. The Saints aimed to address a top need after the departure of Cam Jordan in free agency. Jennings is expected to bolster run defense but has not shown significant pass rush ability, while Wilson has potential for improvement in that area but has been inconsistent in his production since being drafted. Analysts question whether these additions are sufficient to solidify the pass rush ahead of the upcoming season.
