The New Orleans Saints apparently remain in the market to bolster the linebacker corps.
The Saints had a trade in the works for veteran linebacker NaVorro Bowman with the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a seventh-round draft pick, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Sunday morning.

Schefter further reports the trade fell through when the Saints learned of Bowman's desire to become a free agent, leading to the 49ers to eventually release the four-time All-Pro linebacker Friday afternoon.
