The Saints worked out a pair of veteran safeties Friday. They are signing one of them.

Amie Just of The Times-Picayune reports the Saints have agreed to terms with Jeff Heath. The team also worked out Andrew Sendejo.

Heath has remained a free agent since the Raiders released him May 4.

Heath, 30, was the AFC Defensive Player of the Week in Week 10 last season with the Raiders when he made two interceptions in a victory over the Broncos.

He signed a two-year deal worth up to $8 million with the Raiders last offseason after spending seven seasons with the Cowboys.

Jerry failed to put a team around Heath.

He is as good at missing as the ones we cut.

Nope, just back to square one with Biadasz.

What does that say about Sendejo?

The Hall of Famer!

Meh, he wasn't a great player but he was serviceable. I hope he does well in New Orleans.

Says he is from Rice and sucks

...Heath is your basic avg Joe. Only big play you get from him, is from a tipped ball that happens to come his way.

Heath was one of the only playmakers on some mediocre defenses here in Dallas. He would knock the snot out of you and he would go get the ball. Everybody knew he wasn't ever going to be a great safety but I never will understand the hatred the people gave him on this board.

The guy is still out there living his dream.

Good to hear.. I liked Heath, albeit not as a starter. But as a backup safety, ST’s ace, and leader. Congrats to him.. he’s managed a decent NFL career.

Trade Jaylon to the Saints for the GOAT

Or he should change the s for a p in his name?

That would look cool on the back of a jersey. In a weird way

Jerry would sign him just to sell the jerseys!

I remember his name coming up in the draft. Folks upset because "Dallas doesn't draft safeties high."

Another bullet avoided.

I still remember some of the "film studies" from some of his fans trying to trick people into thinking he was a decent S
