New Orleans Saints schedule to be released Tuesday evening

La Bomba · Apr 11, 2009

Things to look for next week with regards to the Saints and NFL:

- The NFL will release its 2009 schedule at 6 p.m. Tuesday on NFL.com and the NFL Network.

- The deadline to sign restricted free agents to an offer sheet is 10:59 p.m. Friday, April 17. None of the Saints restricted free agents has been tendered an offer to date - guard Jahri Evans, wide receiver Lance Moore, cornerback Leigh Torrence and tackle Zach Strief.

The Saints made the highest possible tender to Evans - a one-year, $2.792 million offer - which means the Saints would receive both a first- and third-round pick as compensation if their starting right guard signs with another team. They also have the option to match any deal he signs with another team.

The Saints offered Moore and Strief each one-year, $1.545 million deals, which means they would receive a second-round pick as compensation if either signs with another team and they don't match the offer.

They made the lowest possible tender to Torrence - a one-year, $1.01 million offer, which does not include any draft-pick compensation since the backup cornerback entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2005. They still have the option to match any deal he signs elsewhere, though.
