**New Orleans Saints Sign CB Jeremiah McLendon to $1.0M Deal** The New Orleans Saints have added depth to their secondary by signing cornerback Jeremiah McLendon to a $1.0M AAV contract, a move that earns a C+ grade on the Contract Value Index (CVI). This signing represents solid value for a backup cornerback who can contribute in sub-packages and special teams situations. McLendon's contract reflects the current market rate for depth pieces at the position, with the Saints avoiding any significant financial risk while addressing a positional need. The $1.0M figure suggests the organization views McLendon as a reliable depth option rather than a starter, which aligns with typical reserve cornerback valuations across the league. While this isn't a splash signing that moves the needle dramatically, it's the type of prudent roster management that championship-caliber teams execute to maintain competitive depth throughout their defensive backfield.
