Saints Signing XFL DB Deatrick Nichols

The New Orleans Saints are signing former Houston Roughnecks DB Deatrick Nichols to a contract on Monday, according to his agent. 

Nichols, 25, wound up signing on with the Cardinals as an undrafted free agent out of South Florida back in 2018. He agreed to a three-year, $1.71 million contract and managed to make the 53-man roster coming out of the preseason, but was later waived in October. 

Nichols was on and off of the Cardinals’ roster before agreeing to a deal with the Houston Roughnecks for the 2020 season. 

During his one season with the Roughriders, Nichols recorded 24 tackles, one sack and three interceptions.
