Mayberry, 31, played primarily right guard in Philadelphia. He was selected to the Pro Bowl at the position in 2002. But the Saints want him to start at right tackle, where he'll replace unrestricted free agent Victor Riley, the starter the past two seasons. Mayberry has starting experience at both guard and tackle spots. He has not started at right tackle since 1999.

"Jermane has starting experience at every spot up front other than center," Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said. "He is the consummate professional in his approach. He has been voted to the Pro Bowl and has a wealth of postseason experience. His signing will have a positive impact on our entire offense, from both a production and leadership perspective."


It's unclear how Mayberry's signing affects the Saints' courtship of Fred Miller, who was released by the Tennessee Titans last month. Miller, a right tackle, visited the Saints earlier this weekend and is set to visit Chicago today. He is expected to choose between the Bears and Saints early next week.
