Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that the Saints are signing veteran RB Shane Vereen to a contract on Wednesday.
Vereen actually worked out for the Saints last month, but he wasn’t signed to a contract following the session.
Vereen, 29, is a former second-round pick of the Patriots back in 2011. He played out his rookie contract with the Pats before signing a three-year, $12.35 million with the Giants back in March of 2015.
Vereen took a pay cut to be back with the Giants last year and finished out his contract with the team. He had been testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
In 2017, Vereen appeared in all 16 games for the Giants and rushed for 164 yards on 45 carries (3.6 YPC) to go along with 44 receptions for 23 yards receiving and no touchdowns. He also contributed 196 kick return yards.
