ORLANDO, Fla. -- The 49ers plan to meet with New Orleans Saints free-agent Delvin Breaux as they look to add another veteran cornerback to their 90-man roster, coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed on Sunday at the NFL owners meetings.
Breaux, 28, started 16 games for the Saints in 2015 and made an impression on Shanahan, who was Atlanta’s offensive coordinator at the time. The Saints and Falcons play twice a year as members of the NFC South.
But Breaux (6-foot-1, 210 pounds) has been plagued by injuries the past two seasons. He appeared in just six games in 2016, sustaining a broken fibula in the season opener.
