Should the New Orleans Saints take a look at Josh Norman or Paul Richardson?
Josh Norman would be solid low-risk addition to the Saints.
The 32-year-old cornerback is coming off a rough stint in Washington, but playing for a competitive team can completely change that. Compared to Eli Apple, Josh Norman is a huge upgrade in the Saints secondary that could certainly use the help.

In 12 games in 2019, Norman tallied one interception, six passes defended, one forced fumble, and 40 tackles. Eli Apple in 15 games tallied an underwhelming 58 tackles, four passes defended, one forced fumble, and no interceptions.
Josh Norman, in the same capacity that Janoris Jenkins came in and played, would be a significant upgrade. Josh Norman was the No. 1 corner during his time with the Redskins meaning he had to play against number one receivers.
If Norman came to New Orleans, he would likely fill the nickel role or possibly the number two spot depending on Lattimore’s decision to hold out or not. The Saints secondary needs the help as the entire Saints cornerback corps totaled three interceptions all season.
Janoris Jenkins brings a bit of hope as he totaled five interceptions, but only one came in a Saints uniform. Signing the former Pro Bowl cornerback would be a smart decision and could really pay off down the stretch.
