Saints Re-Sign Chris Reis

by Jon Banks on Jul 28, 2011 5:27 PM CDT

In a bit more surprising move, the Saints have re-signed Chris Reis, the Saints backup safety and special teams ace. Reis is coming off injured reserve after suffering a hamstring injury. The news comes from nola.com:

Transactions to date: "Lance Moore, Jermon Bushrod, Scott Shanle, Leigh Torrence, Chris Reis and Jo-Lonn Dunbar have all agreed to terms on new contracts."

The Saints need all the safeties they can get right now. Not including undrafted free agents, Malcolm Jenkins was the only safety the Saints had on the roster this morning.

Reis staying helps the Saints with their safety depth and particularly their special teams. After all, he did make a special play on special teams.

Special Teams

need to be more Special. Another good move here. It is hard to believe the front office acumen in New Orleans, being old enough to remember the Mecom years.

You know, in Japan a round of golf cost $12,000. You play from rooftop to rooftop and the balls are made of rice somehow. then when you're done you've gotta go home and sleep in a tube.

Sweet!!!

I love this guys. We should do onside kicks every kick off. And we can sign Steve Gleason out of retirement to block every punt too. Every single one.
