The New Orleans Saints are adding another veteran offensive lineman to the competitors at training camp.

Orlando Franklin, a second-round pick in 2011, agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Saints on Thursday, according to a source with knowledge of the deal.

The 29-year-old Franklin played left guard for the Chargers the past two seasons, but they cut him in May after bulking up their offensive line in the draft.
