Re: Saints Sign CB Brian Poole

Gardner-Johnson to line up outside?? That’s the only way this signing would make sense.

Re: Saints Sign CB Brian Poole

Is the rational that the last guy we signed from the Jets was so good, this has to work guiding this signing?

7. BRIAN POOLE, FREE AGENT
"Poole profiles as one of the more impactful free agents still available following the two best seasons of his career with the New York Jets in 2019 and 2020. He has been the 13th-most valuable cornerback in the NFL over the past two seasons (per PFF WAR) despite missing half of the 2020 season due to injury. Poole has been particularly stingy in coverage over that time frame, allowing just 472 yards in over 600 slot coverage snaps".

Don't believe so Rugs.

Kris Richard is a very bright secondary coach. I'm sure he has a plan.

As a veteran I believe he is guaranteed his entire 2021 salary so he is definitely not just a camp body.

Matt O'Leary is a avid Jets fan & has a weekly podcast mentioned Poole quite a bit. Talked about how he was a huge upgrade over Buster Skrine, one of the better finds at slot & rarely committed penalties.

The more I listened to his observations on Brian's play over the last 2 seasons up in NY, the more encouraging this signing will be for New Orleans. Already a good player in his prime, ball hawk ability & now gets coached up by Richard.

Little risk, big reward type signing. Underrated player because of the team he used to play for. I like this move .

Training camp is here

He also made a good point about our current WR core ... not a lot of confidence in 3quan & Deonte' staying healthy for a full season. Hopefully we go after another WR. Paul Hogan seems like a depth piece to me.

I'd love for the Saints to propose a trade to Dallas for Michael Gallup. He's a legit talent & consistentely gets open in crucial moments.
