The NFL Franchise tag deadline is just around the corner on July 15th and the New Orleans Saints have a decision to make about free safety Marcus Williams. Will they give him a likely Top 5 (or higher) safety contract or let him play this season on the franchise tag? An extension will likely approach or exceed $14 million per year, but would also bring down Williams' 2021 cap hit. Is Williams worth that much money? Tom Downey breaks down both sides of the argument in today's Saints rumors video.
