Tracy Porter possibly could find home with Rams
 
Cornerback Tracy Porter may not be back with the New Orleans Saints next season as he is set to become a free agent this year, and with the pending contract of Drew Brees, and perhaps Carl Nicks and Marques Colston, there may be no money left for Porter.

Clouding the issue is that Porter’s value to the Saints defense took a nose dive in 2011 as he was eventually replaced in the starting lineup by second year corner Patrick Robinson


Tracy Porter could find a new home with the St. Louis Rams

Dude gave us some great memories in 2009 and always love porter for that, he's just been too inconsistent and hasn't done Anything since 2009.
Thanks for the great Super Bowl memory Tracy, Robinson already took his spot in 2010

Good luck in St. Louis, and thanks for the memories.

I think he was afraid to do too much on his knee after surgery. I believe he will play much better this year since his knee should be 100% no matter who he plays for.

I think Tracy's whole problem was moving to the nickel. He's a CB. He did OK at NB but I think he'd be much better at CB.

I also think Patrick Robinson will emerge as our best CB next season.

We can only hope for the latter.

Porter may just end up a Raider.

All speculation. Lets wait and see.

I like Porter I wish he could stay with the Saints

100% right.

I think Porter could return to '09 form with Flajoles assistance...

Could be, but, on the other hand, the other guys might as well improve their game and then Porter would still be the odd man out.

Greer and Robinson are going to be the starting pair, and like Danno stated, Porter didn't really excel in the nickel role, which is what he would have in the Saints' roster.

Naturally, the Saints need to add more depth to the CB position behind Greer, Robinson, and Patrick, but as the money is tight - I think Porter is too expensive to stay around.

I'd love for the Saints to add a taller corner to the bunch - something like 6-1 - who could be used to cover some of the colossal WRs around the league (i.e. Megatron).

Tracy Porter will always be remembered for his two interceptions at critical times on our Superbowl run. Unfortunately he will most likely be playing elsewhere next season, he's going to be too expensive to keep.

Porter had the 3rd worst completion percentage when thrown at, with 71.2% of passes completed when thrown at him. He was thrown at 73 times for 52 completions.

Robinson is a good fit though.. Opponents QB rating when throwing against him was 59.3, 7th best in the NFL

Thanks for the memories, Porter. Numbers don't lie.

Had no idea he was banned. I found his frustration entertaining, hence my post.

Oh, well... There will be attrition, I guess.

Next JERK up!!!!

LOL

More like a mystery wrapped in a riddle wrapped in an enigma.
