Let’s dive right into what happened this week in New Orleans Saints news and some of the reactions.
The signing of DB Lonnie Johnson Jr.
FA DB Lonnie Johnson Jr. is signing a one-year deal with the #Saints, sources tell @theScore.
— Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) March 20, 2023
In seven starts for the #Texans in 2021, Johnson had 3 INTs and 6 PBUs. The versatile CB/Safety is a former 2nd-round pick, who I’m told had three different suitors in free agency. pic.twitter.com/gdmrKu0CqY
Lonnie Johnson is an interesting player in that he has played wide corner, in the slot and free safety.

He gives the Saints another defensive back who can do a little bit of everything. They always find a way to make use of those players.

Lonnie Johnson is a big “press cover” CB who has a lot of physical talent, but he just has not been able to piece it all together out on the field.

It’s why a former 2nd round pick has bounced around. https://t.co/kjUfKQeUGM

To Saints staff meeting with OSU Prospects
A Saints contingent led by HC Dennis Allen and GM Mickey Loomis had dinner with a big group of OSU players last night in Columbus, couple tables over from WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the Giants folks.

Saints spent 5 first- or second-round picks on Buckeyes in the last 7 drafts.
