It might be time to declare Delvin Breaux the greatest steal of the offseason.
Lockdown cornerbacks are among the rarest commodities in the NFL. Teams fight over them when they hit the open market, and their prices rise quicker than Sean Payton’s blood pressure after the defense gets flagged for having 12 men on the field. And yet the Saints reached up into Canada this offseason and pulled Breaux down to New Orleans with little fuss.
And the best part is, it only cost New Orleans $1.57 million over three years. Or, in other words, the Saints have him for two more years after this season on what might soon be considered the most team-friendly deal in the NFL.
