ESPN’s Field Yates tweeted that the Saints and cornerback Janoris Jenkins have hammered out a reworked deal that saves the franchise some coveted cap space.
The Saints and CB Janoris Jenkins have agreed to a renegotiated contract. A sensible move for the Saints to create cap space, as Jenkins was scheduled to count $11.25M against the cap, with a base salary of $10.25M. GM Mickey Loomis is always finding ways to create cap space.

Then, in the postseason, the man nicknamed "Jackrabbit" punched the ball loose against the Minnesota Vikings in the Wild Card game.
