It’s a safe bet the New Orleans Saints will cash in one of their biggest chips on a cornerback this offseason, via free agency or the draft.
Sean Payton recently labeled the position as one of New Orleans’ two “musts,” along with an edge rusher, after the team allowed the most passing yards in the NFL last season (273.8 per game).
And if you believe actions speak louder than words, look at what the Saints did over the past 10 months. They aggressively pursued cornerback Josh Norman when he became a free agent last April, even though it would have cost them $15 million per year.
