Report: Patrick Robinson to sign with the New Orleans Saints
14 March 2018 Eagles News
Well, the Eagles could not keep all of the members from their Super Bowl winning team.
Eagles cornerback Patrick Robinson will be back where it all started, with the New Orleans Saints.
This is a surprise: #Eagles CB Patrick Robinson, due to be a free agent in 2 hours, is expected to sign a 4-year deal with the #Saints. Back where it all began.

Robinson signed a four-year deal with the team that originally drafted him. The Eagles were said to have made him a priority this offseason, but it looks like their deal just could not compete with the Saints.
Going forward, the Eagles have a couple younger options they can play in the slot and of course, safety Malcolm Jenkins gets a few licks in the slot every game. However, I’d keep an eye on the Eagles in the draft, that’s where they might add another corner.
