2026 Projections
Signed a contract with the Saints in April of 2026.
Headed to New Orleans
The Saints signed Emerson on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Emerson worked out with the team earlier in the day and seemingly impressed enough to earn a contract. The 25-year-old has spent the entirety of his three-year career with Cleveland, totaling 202 tackles (158 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and four interceptions across 50 games. With the Saints lacking proven talent at cornerback, Emerson could have a chance to start alongside Kool-Aid McKinstry during the 2026 campaign.

2023
Emerson appeared to have been caught up in the team-wide malaise that fell over the Browns in 2024. An optimist will see Emerson's career-high 80 tackles and health - he played all 17 games (15 starts) - but those were offset by poor coverage. He dropped to a career-low 48.4 coverage grade, saw his reception percentage spike to 62.7 percent and allowed a team-high six touchdowns, per Pro Football Focus. The defensive backs are supposed to be the strength of this defense but, other than Denzel Ward, 2024 was a regression for the group.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Checks in with Houston
Emerson visited with the Texans on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback missed the entire 2025 season while recovering from a torn Achilles. Emerson started 27 regular-season games for the Browns over the prior two campaigns, recording a career-high 80 tackles in 2024, and if he's healthy he could provide depth to a Houston secondary led by Derek Stingley.
