Since the New Orleans Saints lost Janoris Jenkins to start the 2021 offseason, the team has looked at the cornerback spot opposite Marshon Lattimore as a spot that needs to be filled. Often and consistently referring to it as a “must” even as recent as this week.
Since the Janoris Jenkins departure the Saints drafted Stanford’s Paulson Adebo in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft and signed UDFAs Bryce Thompson from Tennessee and Lawrence Woods from Trumate State. They also brought back Ken Crawley in free agency and have added veteran corners Brian Poole, Prince Amukamara, and Adonis Alexander among other offseason additions.
