Ian Rapport of NFL Media reports that the Saints are signing veteran OLB Paul Kruger to a contract on Wednesday.

Kruger was in the fourth year of his five-year, $40.5 million contract that included $20 million guaranteed and was set to make a base salary of $6.5 million for the 2016 season when he was cut.
In 2015, Kruger appeared in all 16 games for the Browns and recorded 27 tackles and 2.5 sacks.
