The Saints may have a Week 11 bye but the break hasn’t persuaded the team to rest on its laurels with the stretch run on the horizon.
Two-time Super Bowl champion pass rusher Jason Pierre-Paul announced he plans to sign with New Orleans (5–5) after visiting the club for a workout on Monday, according to Josina Anderson of CBS Sports. In confirming Anderson’s report, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football added that Pierre-Paul will be signed to the Saints’ practice squad.
The news has not yet been made official by the Saints but the reportedly pending move would address a key need for the team after struggling to bring pressure so far this season. Entering Week 11, New Orleans ranks bottom-10 in QB pressures and 28th in sacks (18).
