DE · New Orleans Saints
Cast your verdict:
A low-risk futures contract flier on a fringe roster player with minimal NFL impact. Five headlines covered the move, mostly noting his Jacksonville roots and Louisiana homecoming angle. The strongest signal here is 'reserve/future contract' — essentially a camp invite with no guaranteed roster spot. Fans are mildly intrigued by the local connection, but expectations remain appropriately low. Cole faces long odds making the 53-man roster and projects as a training camp body at best.
This signing grades out as a bad deal for the New Orleans Saints — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Myles's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL DEs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.0M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the DE market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Myles is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
