Tracy Porter possibly re-signs with Saints?

Wouldn't Robinson be the natural replacement and probably without much if any of a downgrade. Then look to draft one, provided the Saints don't lose any picks when discipline comes down from the NFL.

Robinson was the starter across from Greer, Porter was switch to Nickelback.

I think Johnny Patrick may be our new NB.

I'd like to see him stick around; see what Flajole can do with him...

As do I, but I think Porter plays better on the outside. The move to nickelback didn't do him any favors.

At least he has a great football name... Flajole, that is. That has got to count for something!

Well, Robinson already replaced Porter last season as the #2 CB on the roster. Porter would be the nickel in all likelihood, and he'd have to battle Patrick for that spot.

If nothing drastic happens during the FA period, the draft, the camps, and the OTAs - the starting CB pair will be Greer and Robinson.

But, the Saints still need to have more depth at the CB position in the coming season, so that is where re-signing Porter might be a valid option if he is willing to re-sign to an affordable deal.

Also, we don't know what Spags, Flajole, and Curtis are looking to do with the secondary, so they might be looking to do some changes in the personnel.
