Report: Saints will sign K Shayne Graham
Veteran kicker Shayne Graham will replace Garrett Hartley, who was released by the Saints today.
The 36-year-old Graham started his career with New Orleans, signing with the team as an undrafted free agent in 2000.
Last year Graham made 31 of 38 field goals with the Houston Texans, and did not miss a kick under 40-yards.
FOX Sports 1 NFL Insider Mike Garafolo reports that Graham has been with 14 other teams.

After the reports of Graham's signing hit Twitter, Hartley's former team mate and Saints long snapper, Justin Drescher, tweeted some love for his former kicker.
