METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints have agreed to a deal with free-agent cornerback Brian Poole, pending a physical, a source confirmed.
Terms of the agreement were not immediately known. NFL reporter Josina Anderson first reported that Poole said he intends to sign a one-year deal with the Saints on Monday.
Poole, 28, spent his first five seasons with the Atlanta Falcons and New York Jets after going undrafted out of Florida. The 5-foot-10, 213-pounder established himself as one of the NFL's top slot cornerbacks before he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in Week 9 last year.
