Needing a better pass rush, the Saints are adding depth on the defensive line.
Chris McCain, a defensive end who has spent his first two NFL seasons with the Dolphins, has been traded to New Orleans.
The teams announced that the trade is for an undisclosed draft pick. It is likely a conditional seventh-round pick.
An undrafted free agent who signed with the Dolphins in 2014, McCain has just two sacks in his 18 career games, so there’s no guarantee that he’ll make any difference to the Saints’ defense. But he probably wasn’t even going to make the roster in Miami, and in New Orleans he has a chance.
