The first wave of free agency saw the New Orleans Saints take care of in-house matters, while also adding key pieces to the roster.
The Saints re-signed defensive tackle Nick Fairley to a four-year deal on the first day of the league's new calendar year, and also brought back safeties Chris Banjo on a two-year deal and Shiloh Keo on a one-year contract before the start of free agency.
With internal business settled, the Saints addressed linebacker by signing A.J. Klein from the Carolina Panthers to a three-year deal.
New Orleans also added two pieces to the offense by signing right guard Larry Warford from the Detroit Lions to a four-year contract and penning a three-year deal with former Panthers wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr.
