The Saints are set to meet with veteran cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport). Kirkpatrick would provide New Orleans with a proven corner and fill their need for better depth in that group. 
Kirkpatrick met with the Patriots last month, but nothing came of that visit. At least, not yet. That was Kirkpatrick’s first known workout, which is surprising since he’s served as a full-time starter for the last few seasons. He also offers a first-round pedigree, having been drafted 17th overall by the Bengals back in 2012.
After eight years with the Bengals, Kirkpatrick inked a one-year deal with the Cardinals last year. He appeared in 14 games, including 11 starts. He finished out with 56 tackles, seven passes defended, three interceptions, and a much softer market than he anticipated.
If signed, Kirkpatrick could help to fill the void left by Janoris Jenkins‘ departure. They’ve still got Pro Bowler Marshon Lattimore as their CB1, but they need better support. For now, they’ve got veteran Patrick Robinson and third-round rookie Paulson Adebo near the top of the chart.
Didn’t Lattimore have some off field issue?
