Saints just signed  new TE that was on the Green Bay roster as injured reserve(?) and was undrafted free agent with Indianapolis in 2005. Apparently he has started 7 games previously. Saints put Marcus Mallei on IR with a hamstring injury. I guess they are trying to free up Dave Thomas to play FB if Shockey needs more time.  Makes me wonder how hurt the guy going to IR was, but I don't really know the rules in regard to that. I'll try to provide the link, but if anyone knows how a player such as Humphrey can go on IR in preseason and then be on an active roster later in the season, please let me know how that works.   The link is from the Saints Official website.
