According to Tom Pelissero, the Saints are hosting veteran free-agent CB Captain Munnerlyn for a visit on Tuesday.

New Orleans is banged up in the secondary right now, so Munnerlyn could provide some short-term help if signed.

Munnerlyn, 31, is a former seventh-round pick of the Panthers back in 2009. He spent five years in Carolina before signing a three-year, $11.25 million deal with the Vikings back in 2014.

Munnerlyn elected to return to the Panthers for the 2017 season when he agreed to a four-year, $21 million contract. However, Carolina cut him loose this past February.

Munnerlyn signed on with the Bills during training camp but was released coming out of the preseason.

In 2018, Munnerlyn appeared in all 16 games for the Panthers and recorded 47 tackles, two sacks, an interception, a fumble recovery and nine pass defenses. Pro Football Focus had him rated as the No. 83 cornerback out of 112 qualifying players.
