Hakeem Nicks is heading to New Orleans.
The veteran receiver is signing with the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Nicks worked out for the Saints in May, but there’s been little talk about him since then.
New Orleans has a very young and inexperienced receiving corps, so Nicks may provide some veteran leadership. But it’s fair to wonder whether the 28-year-old has much left: Last year he managed just seven catches for 54 yards in six games.
Overall, Nicks has played seven NFL seasons and caught 356 passes for 5,081 yards and 31 touchdowns.
