There is overwhelming pressure on the New Orleans Saints to start the very lucrative Derek Carr era on the right foot. A typically weak NFC South should give them a fairly favorable path to success in theory, but the organization is still working hard to shore up their offense.

That was clear Thursday, as the Saints signed offensive lineman Billy Price, wide receiver Keke Coutee and running back Lynn Bowden, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Although this trio might fall under the radar, they can provide depth, protection and versatility.

Price is a former first-round pick by the Cincinnati Bengals and started at center half of last season for the Arizona Cardinals. Bowden can rack up volume as a pass-catcher out of the backfield, totaling 28 receptions for 211 receiving yards his rookie season in 2020 with Miami before being relegated to the New England Patriots' practice squad last season.

Coutee has had his name uttered in several fantasy football circles, and looked to be a solid sleeper candidate while playing with Deshaun Watson in the Houston Texans offense. He repeatedly flashed promise and recorded 33 receptions and 400 yards in eight games in 2020-21. The 26-year-old did not produce consistently, though, and was eventually waived.

Each of these three players, who are all under the age of 30, can find redemption in New Orleans. None of them are likely to truly break out, but they can be viable contributors on a potential divisional title team. Derek Carr can thrive with the right star and supplementary talent around him.

With a contract that could be worth $150 million, the Saints cannot afford to be lax in any area. They have to make it count. That means no addition is too small.
