Saints front office has been stressing the "need" for a CB all off season so I'm not at all surprised by this move.

Good luck to Roby.

How does he compare to Janoris, other than "solid"? Is he cheaper than him also?

Janoris is probably the better of the two, however Roby is a good corner. Meaning he's good against press man, turning his head and making plays (he's had a few pick 6's in his career) on the ball ... consistently. All "solid" traits from a former 1st rounder. He carries a pretty steep contract but I see a restructure coming.

I guess Kris Richard has seen enough to know how he feels about the CB group opposite Marshon Lattimore.

Sounds like he's more expensive in more ways than one. We still don't know what the Saints traded away.

Janoris is much more gifted than Roby. Jackrabbit is 32 though, so they might be what and what at this point.
