0:00It's April 27th. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI, your gridiron update. I'm Cory with the story. The New Orleans Saints loaded up their roster this off season, signing running back Travis ETN Jr. and offensive lineman David Edwards as free. Agents, plus grabbing wire receiver Jordan Tyson in the first round of the draft. They're building a potent offense around quarterback Tyler Show, which looks solid on paper. But the defense, especially the cornerback spot, got left hanging. General manager Mickey Loomis admitted they planned to draft a corner early, but it just didn't work out that way. They lost key corner, Alente Taylor, to the Tennessee Titans in free agency, leaving a big hole at Nickel Corner. Fans and analysts are buzzing about how this could hurt the secondary if not fixed quick. Instead of an early pick, the Saints waited until the seventh round to take TJ Hall. Now they're eyeing veteran free agents. Free an internal camp battle, or even a trade, though that's a long shot.

1:00With other needs filled and moves like the Martian Latamore trade paying off big, the Saints still have time to shore up that cornerback room before. Training camp hits.
