The New Orleans Saints have signed free agent wide receiver Kevin White following a group tryout on Tuesday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport first reported. White, 29, spent his first three years in the NFL with the Chicago Bears after they drafted him at No. 7 overall out of West Virginia. He appeared in three games with the San Francisco 49ers last season but did not record a catch.
It doesn’t hurt to roll the dice on players with something to prove, especially at a weak position like receiver. Between injuries to Michael Thomas and Tre’Quan Smith and a looming suspension for Deonte Harris, the Saints don’t have much they can hang their hats on beyond second-year pro Marquez Callaway.
