The Saints have lost another free agent. Usama Young, the saints backup safety, has signed a contract with the Cleveland Browns. The news comes via nola.com:

Former New Orleans Saints safety Usama Young has agreed to a deal with the Cleveland Browns, according to a league source who confirmed an earlier report by beat Cleveland sports talk radio station WKNR.

This should come as no surprise since we had already heard the rumors.

Usama only had six starts in his career with New Orleans. He played in a total of 52 regular season games, accumulating 14 pass deflections and 3 INT. Usama was never a star player, but he did his job. Most importantly, the Saints lose a serious special teams contributor, and lose another member of the Super Bowl winning team.

Good luck to Usama. He was a class act, one of the nicest players on the team and the first player ever to be interviewed here on Canal Street Chronicles.
