Here’s some New Orleans Saints free agency news: WWL-TV sports anchor Brooke Kirchhofer reports that the team has extended a contract offer to tight end Foster Moreau, who previously visited the team and underwent a physical only to be diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Moreau has since turned his focus away from football and towards this fight with cancer, but Kirchhofer adds that Moreau is ‘receiving attention’ from several teams, including the Saints.
There are some obvious benefits to signing him now. Moreau already has well-established chemistry with Saints quarterback Derek Carr — the vast majority of his 91 career receptions have come from the longtime Raiders quarterback. He’s coming off the best year of his career with 33 catches for 420 yards, with 24 first down conversions and a pair of touchdown grabs. At just 26 years of age he was rightfully seen as an ascending talent prior to this cancer diagnosis.
