The longtime Chiefs safety spent part of the 2022 season with the Saints. At 32, Sorensen profiles as a special teams player and a part-time defensive player for a strong New Orleans secondary.

Sorensen, 32, spent his first eight seasons in Kansas City but is now going elsewhere for the first time in his career. Sorensen was a versatile sometimes-starter for the Chiefs but made a bunch of forgettable plays that proved he shouldn't be on the field on defense. He's best left on special teams and in a reserve role.

Sorensen, who started 11 games for the Chiefs in 2020, recorded three interceptions, five passes defensed, and had two forced fumbles. He also played nearly 40 percent of the team's special teams snaps in 2020. He'll return to his versatile role in the KC secondary, which Pro Football Focus graded as the league's 13th best last year. 

Sorensen possessed the starting job in 2017 and then again in 2018 in what was an injury-shortened campaign for him. The team decided to reinforce the safety spot this offseason by investing free-agent dollars into acquiring Tyrann Mathieu and then spending draft capital in the form of a second-round pick on Juan Thornhill. The rookie secured the starting job in training camp, leaving Sorensen in more of an ancillary role in the defensive backfield. However, a late-season torn ACL for Thornhill could result in Sorensen opening 2020 back in a starting spot.
