The New Orleans Saints continued to beef up their secondary Wednesday by signing former New York Jets cornerback Kyle Wilson.  

Wilson's signing was made official by the team's Twitter account:

According to Saints senior vice president of communications Greg Bensel, the organization came to terms on a one-year deal with the 27-year-old defensive back:

Wilson was a first-round pick in the 2010 NFL draft, and he had previously spent all five of his NFL seasons with the Jets. Although he has never missed a game, he also hasn't lived up to expectations with just three career interceptions.

After playing exclusively under current Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan during his time with the Jets, Wilson will now play for his brother, Rob, in New Orleans, as pointed out by Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News:

Although it can be argued that the former Boise State standout has been a disappointment at the NFL level, he joins a Saints secondary that brought in cornerback Brandon Browner and returns the likes of Keenan Lewis as well as safeties Kenny Vaccaro and Jairus Byrd.

One can only assume that Wilson will be asked to perform primarily in a nickel or dime corner role, and he has a chance to succeed with so much talent around him.
