Amid reports that the Saints are in trade talks with the Patriots for Malcolm Butler, some fans and media outlets have linked the Saints to the Seahawks’ Richard Sherman. Some oddsmakers have even ranked New Orleans as the team most likely to have Sherman on their roster come Week 1.
On the one hand, I understand the link. Sean Payton and the Saints like veteran players and have a very young group in their secondary. They’ve been very adamant about adding a CB in free agency or the draft. Trade talks with the Patriots have stalled as Butler still hasn’t signed his tender.
