Hunt, 29, originally signed with the Browns as an undrafted free agent out of Houston back in 2009. He wound up playing two seasons for the Eagles before they waived/injured him last August.

Hunt, unfortunately, suffered an ACL injury that required surgery back in 2013 and wound up missing the entire season.

The Lions elected to sign him to a contract back in February before later releasing him in October.

This season, Hunt has appeared in two games and recorded seven tackles and a sack.

The New Orleans Saints are signing veteran edge rusher Phillip Hunt, according to a report from ESPN.
Hunt, 29, played for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011 and 2012 before injuries knocked him out of football.

He made a comeback with the Detroit Lions this year before being waived last month.

Hunt, who is 6-foot-1 and 258 pounds, has typically played a pass-rushing outside linebacker/defensive end role.

The Saints are beset by injuries at linebacker. Rookie outside linebacker Hau'oli Kikaha attempted to play last week with a sprained ankle against the Washington Redskins but managed only nine snaps before being shut down.
If the Saints view Hunt as more of a lineman, he could be used in place of Obum Gwacham in pass-rushing or third-down roles.
