The #Saints are among the teams expressing interest in five-time Pro Bowl CB Richard Sherman, per sources. Sherman’s old DBs coach in Seattle, Kris Richard, now has the same job in New Orleans and the team is in the cornerback market after releasing Janoris Jenkins.

There’s a surprise, splashy bit of free agent news. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that the New Orleans Saints are one of the teams looking into cornerback Richard Sherman, one of the top veteran cornerbacks on the open market. Sherman is also one of a handful of players who negotiates his own contracts, meaning the Saints would be addressing him directly during the NFL’s open negotiating window before the start of the new league year on Wednesday.
