A source said Thursday the free agent cornerback and return specialist will sign a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints. Terms were not immediately available on Sherels, who made $1.4 million last season with the Vikings.

A source said the Vikings looked to bring Sherels back but he wanted to go to the Saints because he believes they have a good chance at winning the Super Bowl. About a half-dozen teams were in the mix for Sherels.

This will piss off Vikings fans (Sherels is a Minny native) which makes the deal even sweeter.

Sweet. Sherels is a decent returner. Gets Kamara out of danger now

Very nice.

Sherels has been one of the NFL’s top punt returners. He averaged 12.0 yards per return last season, the fourth time he had averaged 11 or more yards in a season.

Anyone know if he’s got any real ability at CB or is he strictly a KR?

Mine as well. He told me that Sherels was interested in the Saints, but was hoping for more money and/or years from another team before signing. Our chance at winning a Super Bowl might have been the deciding factor.

My source wouldn't stop blowing up my phone about it. He was texting me from the bathroom.

What a loser.
