Saints Shopping Delvin Breaux

The Saints are shopping cornerback Delvin Breaux, according to Nick Underhill of The Advocate (on Twitter). Underhill hears that New Orleans is frustrated with Breaux’s recent injury history. Delvin Breaux (vertical)

Last year, Breaux missed the start of the season with a broken fibula and had his season shut down in December with a shoulder injury. The Saints are apparently troubled by his fragility here in mid-August, which makes one wonder whether Breaux has re-aggravated one of his injuries in camp. If that’s the case, it’s hard to see teams champing at the bit to acquire him.

Last year, the former CFL standout had a dismal 39.1 score from Pro Football Focus and played in a full slate of games . In 2016, however, he had an 85 overall score which cast him as a top-15 type of cornerback. If Breaux is healthy, real interest from at least a handful of teams can be expected.

The Saints can afford to part with Breaux in the right deal since he is not projected to start in 2017. According to Underhill, P.J. Williams and Ken Crowley look like the clubhouse leaders here in August while Sterling Moore and first-round pick Marshon Lattimore are also expected to see playing time.
