Janoris Jenkins Reportedly Claimed by Saints After Being Cut by Giants

The New Orleans Saints have reportedly claimed veteran cornerback Janoris Jenkins, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

He was waived by the New York Giants Sunday while also officially dealing with an ankle injury.

The Giants made a big splash when they signed the 30-year-old in 2016 to a five-year, $62.5 million deal. At the time, New York was coming off a 2015 season in which it allowed 298.9 passing yards per game, most in the NFL.

Jenkins delivered immediate returns, finishing 2016 with three interceptions and 18 passes defended en route to his first Pro Bowl.
