More on the signing

The New Orleans Saints have signed 46-year old, and former Saints', kicker John Carney to a one yaer contract according to a league source.

No financial terms were disclosed Tuesday afternoon when this news was revealed, but it is believed that they signed him to a veteran's minimum deal. There is also no word on the status of Garrett Hartley with the team even though it is believed he will stay on the roster. Both kickers were kept on through much of the 2009 season.

Both kickers were on the team for most of the beginning of last year due to Hartley serving a four-game suspension to begin the season. Not long after his return, both he and Carney start competing more in practice where Hartley ultimately won the job for the final five games of the season and the playoffs.
