The New Orleans Saints are emerging as a prime landing spot for cornerback Asante Samuel Jr., a highly sought-after free agent. Samuel, who previously played for the Los Angeles Chargers, boasts impressive stats with 6 interceptions and 35 passes defended over his first three seasons. However, injury concerns have held him back, including a shoulder issue that limited him to just four games last year and a recent neck surgery. His upcoming physical could dictate his signing prospects with the Saints, particularly given the connection between him and new defensive coordinator Brandon Staley, who drafted him in 2021. The Saints' secondary requires bolstering after recent departures, making Samuel's acquisition a strategic move.
