Saints Interested In Austin Seferian-Jenkins

The Saints are expected to show interest in tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins this week, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL.com (on Twitter). Tight end is on the to-do list for New Orleans and they are also eyeing a potential reunion with Jimmy Graham

Seferian-Jenkins bounced back from substance abuse problems to put together a productive season with the Jets in 2017. He is reportedly seeking $7MM per year on his next deal, which may be a bit too optimistic, but there will be a market for his services. The Falcons and Seahawks are also believed to be potential landing spots for the tight end.

Last year, the former-second round pick caught 50 passes for 357 yards and three touchdowns. His 50 receptions ranked 13th among tight ends in 2017, but his blocking leaves something to be desired. Pro Football Focus ranked him as just the 35th-best run-blocker at his position.
