Saints signing defensive backs Marcus Williams (yes, another one) and Robert Nelson: sources

The New Orleans Saints should have two new defensive backs at practice on Sunday after agreeing to terms with cornerback Marcus Williams and safety Robert Nelson on Saturday, according to league sources.

Williams, who shares a name with the Saints' second-year safety, went undrafted in 2014, but started 14 games for the New York Jets during his first three NFL seasons. The 27-year-old has 10 career interceptions, including six in 2015 and one last year with the Houston Texans.

Nelson, who also went undrafted in 2014, has made 20 career appearances, all as a backup or on special teams, for the Jets, Texans and Cleveland Browns.
