Report: Saints interested in Suh, visit scheduled

The New Orleans Saints are interested in star free-agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The five-time Pro Bowler is set to visit the Saints on Friday, a source told Jane Slater of NFL Network.

This would be Suh's first visit since he was released by the Miami Dolphins.

New Orleans is in need of reinforcements on the interior of the defensive line, as pass-rusher Cameron Jordan shouldered a heavy burden last season and the run defense gave up an average of 4.4 yards per carry (27th in the league).

The market for Suh is expected to be strong. The Saints currently have just under $10 million in cap space, according to Spotrac, so some cuts or contract restructures will likely be needed to land the five-time Pro Bowler.
