Emerson Junior to Saints: Browns Pass on Reliable Depth

On April 29th, Martin Emerson, Jr., the 25-year-old cornerback who started for the Cleveland

Browns just signed a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints after sitting out free

agency.

He tore his Achilles last year, costing him the final season of his rookie contract,

but now he's got a shot at real-playing time in New Orleans if he stays healthy through

the summer.

Brown's fans feel mixed about it since Cleveland set with starters Denzel Ward and Tyson

Campbell up top, but those guys miss games a lot from.

Injuries, leaving the depth charts super thin behind them.

The team skipped bringing Emerson back, even though he flashed with over 30 starts and

solid stats like 29 pass breakups early on, opting.

Instead for offense heavy draft picks and low upside corner signings like Daniel O'Ross.

Saints see him as reliable depth with starter potential, making Cleveland's pass on him

a real head scratcher when they could have locked in that.

Morgan, back up spot.
