The Saints agreed to a one-year deal to bring back tight end Eric Johnson, according to his agent Steve Baker. Terms were not disclosed.

The 28-year-old came to New Orleans last year and started 12 games. Though he didn't flourish as hoped in the Saints' offense, he was solid, catching 48 passes for 378 yards and two touchdowns. He missed two games in December with a groin injury.

The Saints now have all of their tight ends back from last year, including Johnson, Billy Miller and former starter Mark Campbell, who missed all of 2007 with a back injury.

...

The Saints, meanwhile, won't be signing quarterback Trent Green as their backup to Drew Brees. He agreed to a three-year, $8.9 million deal with the St. Louis Rams.
