Saints Sign Broncos TE
 

The New Orleans Saints made a couple of roster moves on Monday as they claimed veteran tight end John Phillips from the Denver Broncos and waived cornerback Brian Dixon and linebacker Chris McCain, according to media reports.

In eight games with the Broncos this seasom, Phillips caught five total passes for 40 yards and one touchdown. Phillips, who will become the Saints third tight end behind Josh Hill and Coby Fleener, will work to bolster the Saints' tight end position.

Both Dixon and McCain both spent time on the 53-man roster and the practice squad for the Saints this season, but could not secure regular roster spots. They will now both look to continue their NFL careers elsewhere.

Coincidence the week we face the Broncos? I think not!

Sounds like he's that blocking TE we lost when Hoomanawanui got injured. Plus we play Denver next so, y'know.

It may have been time for Brian Dixon to go. When I saw him getting chewed out by Sean on Sunday, maybe that was the last straw.

Side note: Speaking of special teams, Lampman has been solid and I'm glad he is back healthy again.

Maybe, finally, coach is going beyond just talk in regards to the running game.

It hasn't been the same since Houman went down. We have even more options next year. :smile:

Re: Saints Sign Broncos TE
 

feel like he has some inside info we might be looking for, this is the Mind F***

Re: Saints Sign Broncos TE
 

No doubt. He'll probably be signing like a canary bird to coach Payton.

Re: Saints Sign Broncos TE
 

He might give Payton inside information as well!

Re: Saints Sign Broncos TE
 

yeah, maybe, but more his canary impersonation.

Word is he plays the Sousa, too.
