Report: Saints trading for Texans cornerback Roby

Per NFL source ... Ian Rapoport

If accurate, this is a good move at a position of need. Bradley is suspended week 1, but becomes avaiable after that.

It will be interesting to see what the Saints gave up to acquire him.

PFT source.

Anyone want to take a guess at where Roby played his college ball ? ...

"Thee Ohio State" & former 1st rounder ... lol

Pretty good move. He’s solid.

Any former Ohio st RBs we can scoop up.... or will we instead sign Darius Guice?

Roby is a upgrade over Crawley & Trufant .. and I keep repeating myself on Adebo but you don't want him to lose confidence early. Adding another quality vet @ CB was needed and necessary. He makes plays.

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.

Awesome. I've been worried about corner. Apparrently the Saints front office was too.

Well, well, well… it was starting to look like they just weren’t going to get a trade done after trying so hard all summer.
