New Orleans Saints har annonceret signeringerne af to nye defensive spillere: cornerback Martin Emerson og linebacker Anfernee Jennings. Med disse tilføjelser styrker holdet sit forsvar yderligere i jagten på succes i den kommende sæson.
Emerson, som tidligere spillede for Cleveland Browns, besøgte holdet på tirsdag. NFL-reporter Josina Anderson havde allerede rapporteret om en aftale mellem spilleren og Saints, inden den officielle meddelelse blev offentliggjort. Emerson missede hele sidste sæson på grund af en revnet akillessene.
For Cleveland Browns nåede Emerson at spille 51 kampe, hvor han stod noteret for 204 tackles, fire interceptions, én sack, én tvungen fumble og én fumble recovery. Han blev draftet af Browns i tredje runde i 2022.
Jennings kommer til Saints fra New England Patriots. I sine 79 optrædener for Patriots nåede han at registrere 233 tackles, 9,5 sacks, to tvungne fumbles og to fumble recoveries. Han blev draftet i tredje runde af Patriots i 2020.
Med disse to signeringer viser Saints endnu en gang deres ambition om at bygge et konkurrencedygtigt hold, der kan kæmpe om topplaceringer i ligaen.
