Saints sign CB Derrius Brooks?

The Calgary Stampeders are on the verge of losing a key contributor in the defensive secondary.

Halfback Derrius Brooks announced on that he will sign Tuesday with the New Orleans Saints, of the National Football League.


“BIG DAY for me,” Brooks, 25, wrote on Twitter before revealing the big news.

The Western Kentucky product signed with the Stampeders in 2012 after an unsuccessful tryout with the Cincinnati Bengals. In 11 games last season, he pitched in with 35 tackles, three interceptions and six pass knock-downs.

Calgary’s defensive secondary promises to look awfully different next season with starting safety Eric Fraser claimed in the Ottawa expansion draft and a laundry list of cover guys eligible for free agency including Chris Randle, Fred Bennett, Jamar Wall and Jeff Hecht.

If the Saints keep signing all these Canadian players, we may hear Oh Canada being played in the dome!

You can't say camp body in New Orleans.

Anyone has a chance to making the final roster.
