re: Will the Saints Add a Veteran Free-Agent Cornerback?

GAREON CONLEY (26 - TEXANS)
A teammate of Marshon Lattimore and Michael Thomas at Ohio State, Conley was the 24th overall selection in the 2017 draft by the Raiders. He had 3 interceptions for Oakland in 2018, but was traded to Houston midway through the 2019 season. Conley finally played like a top corner in seven games with the Texans, allowing less than 53% when targeted.

Conley missed the 2020 season with an ankle injury, but appears to be fully recovered. He had six interceptions in his last two years of college and has the size (6’0” 190-Lbs) and athleticism for a man coverage scheme.

This seems to be the best option and fit.


eta: per roto: Per Wilson, Conley's rehab didn't go well and issues affected his mobility and flexibility, causing pain. Conley is scheduled to hit free agency next offseason.

would def be a risk then. not great Houston thinks his rehab didnt go well.
