0:00On April 26th, Anthony Jennings, that solid past Russia from the New England Patriots is heading to the New Orleans Saints on a new deal. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler dropped the new Sunday. The 26th year old was a third round pick back in 2020 and locked down spots as a rotational guy and starter over his time there. Jennings wrapped up 75 games with 40 starts, piling up 217 tackles, seven and a half sacks, two force fumbles, and three pass breakups.
