Tracy Porter possibly could find home with Rams

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.

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).
