The New Orleans Saints will bring in free agent cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha for a visit on Sunday, according to a report by CSN Bay Area's Matt Maiocco. The three-time Pro Bowler played for new Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan with the Oakland Raiders from 2004-2008.
Asomugha would be a blockbuster addition to the Saints' defense, even though his star has faded a bit over the past two years. He was released by the Philadelphia Eagles after failing to live up to the expectations of a five-year, $60 million contract.
Before that, the 6-foot-2, 210-pounder had established himself as one of the NFL's elite cornerbacks during his first eight seasons in Oakland, with Pro Bowl trips from 2008-2010.

Tight end has gone from a position completely void of any depth to rock solid in the blink of an eye. The Saints just signed a very good and reliable veteran in Ben Watson to a three year deal. Watson is a very versatile player that's reasonably solid both at receiving and blocking, though he's more a pass catcher, and he'll prove to be very good not only as a backup...
