It feels like a whole season has passed since the New Orleans Saints tried getting Richard Sherman. That’s how much drama has been stirring in the Saints cornerback unit, and going into 2021 we just can’t imagine things getting worse than they are now.

This week, Patrick Robinson informed the Saints that he was retiring after an 11-year career. He had struggled with injuries throughout his three seasons in New Orleans but finished his career with respectable numbers: 16 career interceptions, 83 passes defended, 338 combined tackles, and allowing a catch rate of 59 percent when targeted.
