The New Orleans Saints hosted nine-year veteran cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick for a visit on Tuesday. While no deal has been announced at this time, there would be no reason to be surprised to see one if all goes well. Kirkpatrick is a completely sensible signing for a team like the Saints who are looking to fortify their outside cornerback spot. He checks several boxes presently left unfilled after the departure of Janoris “Jackrabbit” Jenkins.
The 31-year-old Kirkpatrick finished the 2020 season with three interceptions and seven passes defended after joining the Arizona Cardinals on a one-year vet minimum deal.
