ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Cincinnati Bengals are hosting cornerback Tracy Porter for a free agent visit on Thursday.

Cincinnati needs corner help in the worst way. Left cornerback Nate Clements has entered his decline phase at age 32, and right corner Leon Hall is trying to return from a torn Achilles’ tendon.

Porter has played right corner and covered the slot in New Orleans. He’s still only 25 years old, and is one of the top cornerbacks left on the free agent market.

Per Schefter, Porter has also drawn interest from the Raiders, and the Saints would like to keep him.

A previous report also linked Porter to the Rams, though they may have backed off after breaking the bank for Cortland Finnegan.
