Patrick Robinson was considered a major free agent acquisition for the Saints over this past offseason. Since his first tenure with the Saints out of college, he’s played for other teams and elevated his game as a slot corner last year with the Philadelphia Eagles before coming back to New Orleans this season. With him landing on injured reserve this week, Sean Payton sees P.J. Williams as the man to step up and fill the void Robinson has left.
The Saints brought in a number of free agent cornerbacks this week to see if any of them could be a fit for the team’s roster but ended up not signing anybody new.
