Saints: Resurging veteran free agent makes sense for New Orleans
The Saints could use his talent.
The New Orleans Saints have some talent at cornerback.
Marshon Lattimore is a top ten CB in the NFL. Alontae Taylor is a blossoming young defensive back. He looked really impressive as a rookie, and the team is excited about him.
After those two, it gets a bit cloudier.
Paulson Adebo has shown glimpses of consistency, but he has also had massive lapses. Penalties were an issue for him last season. Bradley Roby is a capable veteran CB, but he shouldn't prevent you from an upgrade.
Enter Bryce Callahan. The veteran free agent would be a perfect addition for the Saints.
New Orleans could use consistent work from a slot CB that allows Lattimore and Taylor to get reps outside. Callahan provides exactly that, and at his age of 31, his price tag shouldn't be too high for the Saints.
NFL.com named him as one of the top remaining free agents on the market currently.
Injuries threatened Callahan's career before a resurgent 2022 season with the Chargers playing the slot.
Callahan had a solid season for the Chargers last season. He recorded 3 interceptions in eleven starts.
It was a solid bounce back campaign, and he stayed healthy for the most part.
The Saints need to cause more turnovers after struggling in that department a season ago. Callahan would play a role in that and provide veteran leadership for the young players on defense, too.
