Who Dat News: Saints Sign Safety to Three-Year Deal

News: Tuff Harris, a defensive back and punt returner who played with the Miami Dolphins last season, has agreed to a three-year contract with the New Orleans Saints, according to the BillingsGazette.com. The Saints signed Harris to provide depth at safety behind starters Josh Bullocks and Roman Harper.

WhoDatSay: Last year, Harris signed with Miami as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Montana and was elevated from the practice squad to the 53-man roster halfway through the 2007 season. Harris' agent, Ken Staninger, recently commented that Harris would be given the opportunity to compete for the Saints' punt return job. While we doubt that Harris will open the season as the Saints' punt returner, the fact that the team has even communicated that to Harris makes us believe that Reggie Bush will not be performing the Saints' special team duties. While we wish Reggie would see more significant time taking punts, we're glad that the Saints see the need to get someone back there other than Lance Moore, who was underwhelming at best last season. It looks like Tracy Porter and now Tuff Harris should push to replace Moore, with Porter looking good at winning the spot.
