A year ago, before they hit the draft jackpot with Defensive Rookie of the Year Marshon Lattimore, the New Orleans Saints considered some big, bold trades at the cornerback position.
Their flirtation with the New England Patriots’ Malcolm Butler was well publicized, but a deal never materialized. ESPN’s Adam Schefter also reported last year that a trade for the Los Angeles Rams’ Trumaine Johnson fell through because Johnson didn’t want to sign a long-term deal with New Orleans.
Well, one year later both Butler and Johnson are unrestricted free agents who appear destined for new addresses.
