The New Orleans Saints are reportedly considering signing recently released All-Pro cornerback Jaire Alexander to address their struggling secondary. With Alexander, a decorated first-round pick with two Pro Bowl appearances and second-team All-Pro honors, the team could bolster its defense without breaking the bank.
Alexander’s recent release from the Green Bay Packers makes him more likely to accept a smaller contract, which could be an attractive option for the Saints. The team has been actively searching for cornerback help and has already made moves in the offseason, including drafting Louisville Cardinals standout Quincy Riley and bringing in Asante Samuel Jr.
While adding Alexander won’t guarantee Super Bowl success, it would undoubtedly improve the team’s overall defense. If the Saints are willing to overpay for his services, they could emerge as a real contender in the market for his signing.
