The New Orleans Saints signed cornerback Kyle Wilson on Wednesday and also extended the contract of guard Jahri Evans through 2017, creating salary cap room for the strapped team.

A first-round pick by the New York Jets in 2010, Wilson is the second new cornerback to join the Saints, along with Brandon Browner.

Wilson, 27, started 28 games over five seasons with the Jets but never ascended to full-time starter.

In 2014, Wilson played just 320 snaps with the Jets, who brought back Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie and added Buster Skrine last month.

The Saints had just $850,000 in salary cap space before extending Evans, whose $11 million cap hit is expected to drop. He was due $6.8 million in salary this year.

The Saints will keep the six-time Pro Bowl players to play alongside new center Max Unger.
