Just heard but getting back on the road. I won’t be home for another 4 hours to look it up.
 
Former 4th round draft pick of the Browns back in 2014, spent the last 3 seasons as an Outside Corner with the the Colts. 6'1 with 33 inch arm length.

From what I know of him he fits best in Zone heavy schemes because he's at his best when he can read and react looking back at the QB.. don't know that he would be a great fit with the Saints. Dennis Allen likes his corners to play a lot of press coverage and he usually leaves the outside guys alone in Man.
 
Apparently from what i saw he was a solid player when he played in Indy, maybe we could pick him up to play alongside Marshon.

Main thing is the Colts are a heavy Cover-2 team and the last time we signed a Colts Cover -2 corner and tried to play him in Man coverage it didn't work out too well. (Jason David)

Cover-2 Corners have different responsibilities, short zones, can read the QB and pass things off to deeper Safeties, more Run responsibility..

Yes Allen runs some zone coverage but it's usually Cover-3 in the Two minute end of half, game situations. His preferred Defenses put the outside Corners in Press Man on an island on the outside, with Marcus Williams as the lone Single high safety. Not sure how well Desir would translate to playing Press Man and playing receivers with his back to the QB.. when he played primarily in Cover-2 the last three seasons playing with his eyes on the QB.

Man do I hate Allen's coverage schemes in the last 2 minutes of halves.
