Not long after members of the New Orleans Saints‘ coaching staff worked out and signed veteran cornerback Chris McAlister a few weeks ago, Coach Sean Payton returned to his office to find a sticky note on his desk.
Mike McKenzie had called to say he was healthy and available, too. He was offering his services to the Saints’ suddenly banged-up secondary.
Payton and General Manager Mickey Loomis discussed their options. Soon afterward, Payton phoned McKenzie to set up a workout.
Like McAlister, McKenzie was sharp. And for the second time in two weeks the Saints signed a veteran cornerback coming off an injury.
