METAIRIE, La. – The New Orleans Saints are looking to trade cornerback Delvin Breaux, according to a report by the New Orleans Advocate – which would be a startling development, considering the Saints’ massive need to upgrade their defense and the fact Breaux is widely considered their best cornerback.
Apparently, though, the team has grown frustrated with Breaux’s string of nagging injuries – including an unspecified leg issue that has sidelined him for the past two weeks.
Sean Payton declined to either confirm or deny the report after Monday’s practice.
“Listen, we would never comment if we were (actively shopping Breaux) to begin with,” Payton said.
