Some help for the secondary is on the way: NFL insider Josina Anderson reports that defensive back Brian Poole expects to sign a one-year contract with the New Orleans Saints on Monday, July 26. Poole, 28, spent the last two years with the New York Jets, though his 2020 season was cut short with a shoulder injury after nine games.

What’s interesting here is that Poole has primarily defended the slot throughout his NFL career.
