New Orleans Saints: Visiting veteran cornerback would be a nice addition

The New Orleans Saints are visiting with veteran cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick and this makes sense for both sides. The Saints, of course, are in the market for another cornerback after losing Janoris Jenkins and Eli Apple in free agency and Kirkpatrick would give them the veteran presence they’re in search of at the position.

Kirkpatrick, a former first-round pick by the Bengals in 2012, spent the first eight years of his career in Cincinnati before moving to Arizona for the 2020 season. He matched his career-high in interceptions with three and appeared in 14 games for the Cardinals last year.
