We’ve got a live one! NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that the New Orleans Saints expect to sign Carolina Panthers fullback Alex Armah after reaching an agreement with him on a free agent contract, which was confirmed by NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill. The length of the deal and its value have not been immediately reported. Last year’s fullback Michael Burton remains an unrestricted free agent.
Armah was a sixth-round 2017 draft pick by Carolina out of West Georgia, where he was a two-way player who mixed it up at linebacker and defensive end; he’s gone on to appear in 58 games with the Panthers (one playoff appearance), rarely handling the football himself with just 64 career scrimmage yards.
