The New Orleans Saints are in an interesting spot as far as cornerbacks go.

The Saints still have some really good players on the roster including Marshon Lattimore and Janoris Jenkins but with Lattimore entering the final year of his contract he could be a hold-out candidate.

Jenkins is in danger of being released due to his cap hit and the Saints need of creating more space. Jenkins and Lattimore are both set to be 2021 free agents but Lattimore does have a fifth-year club option that I’m sure the Saints will utilize.

The Saints need to add depth this offseason especially since Eli Apple and PJ Williams are set to test the market.

The Saints are rumored to be interested in the Broncos’ Chris Harris Jr. but I could also see the Saints making an AJ Bouye type of trade and snagging a cornerback from a team trying to find a home for an unhappy corner.

The Saints obviously have a need at the cornerback position and a solid free-agent class can help the Saints address that need.
