Janoris Jenkins lands with Saints after Giants slur fiasco

Error 0:

Janoris Jenkins took an odd route to his wish.

Fourteen weeks after he expressed an urgency to be part of a winner late in his career, Jenkins is joining the playoff-bound Saints, according to multiple reports, after he was claimed off NFL waivers Monday following his release from the Giants. He was not eligible to play Monday night against the Colts.

The Giants cut their former Pro Bowl cornerback — considered their best defensive player by some NFL insiders — last week after he called a fan a “retard” on social media and then botched a forced apology.
