The New Orleans Saints have had terrible luck with cornerbacks lately, having lost five of their top six on the depth chart by halftime of Week 2 last year. They had to start guys like Sterling Moore, B.W. Webb, and Ken Crawley up against the likes of Odell Beckham Jr, Julio Jones, and Amari Cooper. Predictably, it was a bloodbath.
Luckily, the Saints have gotten good looks at New England Patriots shutdown cornerback Malcolm Butler in shared training camp practices and preseason games each of the last two years, and they have a history of trading with the New England Patriots.
