Shane Vereen to sign with New Orleans Saints — report

Former New York Giants running back Shane Vereen has found a new home. Vereen is signing with the New Orleans Saints, per a report from Mike Garafolo.

Vereen, mostly a third-down back and pass-catching specialist, spent three seasons with the Giants. He averaged 43.2 yards per carry (139 rushes, 582 yards) and caught 114 passes for 842 yards and 4 TDs. His best year was his first one with the Giants as he had a career-high 59 receptions in 2015.

A forearm injury derailed most of his 2016 season, limiting him to five games.
