Saints sign another vetertan TE

CheramieIII · 09-04-2011, 06:16 PM

John Gilmore - TE - Saints Saints agreed to terms with TE John Gilmore.
The nine-year veteran was cut by the Steelers Saturday. He'll see time in two-tight end sets as a blocking specialist in New Orleans. Gilmore has never caught more than 15 passes in a season.

Reported by ESPN.com

I thought we should keep a 3rd and I guess they already had this one in the making. Now I would just love to see another veteran safety.

Who got released with this signing?

Danno · 09-04-2011, 06:53 PM

I'd guess one of our FB's or King or Humbar or they place Hartley on IR..

"Hurt"ly!! His injury is costing the team as a whole. Any other kickers out there? Who won the PK for Dallas?

Why not keep Humphreys? This pick-up makes no sense.

i bet this guy is good. never more than 15 catches in a season.

Man they should have kept Tyler.

I think I read somewhere where we originally drafted this dude. Isn't it ironic? Don't you think?

I guess we want to pound the rock this year.

He was originally drafted by the Saints in the sixth round of the 2002 NFL Draft.
