Saints place tender on cornerback Ken Crawley

SmashMouth · 03-16-2019, 06:38 AM

The Saints are going to make an attempt to keep Ken Crawley around.

The team placed a right-of-first-refusal tender on the cornerback, which would pay him $2.025 million next season if another team does not try to sign him.

The tender allows the Saints to match any offer he receives form another team. New Orleans would not receive any compensation if another team signs Crawley since he was acquired as an undrafted free agent.

Crawley was expected to serve as the starting cornerback last season after a breakout campaign in 2017, but he struggled during the early portion of the season and was replaced by Eli Apple, who was acquired in a trade.

Makes sense
Make or break for him next year

Even if he play for the saints he will be so low under the depth chart that he will not see the field. Possibly, he can show something during preseason that will warrant a trade.

First thing comes to mind here is depth at the position.

Hopefully the confidence returns for Ken in 2019.

Side note - I think the Saints will draft another corner back in next weeks draft. Still no guarantees he will make the squad.

Safe option to bring back though.

To be continued.

Unless a corner back Payton and his cadre really like falls in unforeseen fashion, it'll be one of those late picks as a flyer, and that rookie will have to just wow in camp to make the roster...

If his medicals check out and he's fully recovered, Virginia's Tim Harris comes to mind for a 6th, 7th rd pick...

Or if Corey Ballentine is there in the fifth round for us...

Year before he was pretty good. I think he gets his mojo back
