Saints Host Free Agent CB Emerson for Potential Starting Role

0:00On April 28th, the New Orleans Saints are hosting free agent cornerback Martin Emerson Jr. on Tuesday, eyeing him as a potential starter after the NFL draft wrapped up. This former Cleveland Browns player brings solid experience with 2000 snaps at outside corner from 2022 to 2024, even though a season ending injury sideline him last year. Post draft, teams like the Saints have extra motivation to lock in deals fast before these guys hit more visits. Folks close to the Browns scene say Emerson's skill set draws interest because he could step right in and make waves on defense. Saints fans are buzzing about the secondary needing depth, especially with no clear slot corner replacement for Alentay Taylor yet.
