A middling team, the Saints (7-9) were actually eliminated from playoff contention Sunday despite their win over the Eagles, but like every NFL club, New Orleans has plenty of good players. Furthermore, while Philadelphia was losing good ones in recent weeks, the Saints were getting back one of their best in Marcus Lattimore.
The Giants took an understandable risk by letting Jones play out his rookie contract, and the 25-year-old guaranteed that he will get a massive deal this offseason with his Week 17 performance.
