I Saints prendono Hargrove

I New Orleans Saints hanno annunciato oggi di aver messo sotto contratto il free DE Anthony Hargrove. I termini economici dell’accordo non sono stati resi noti.
La squadra spera che l’acquisto di Hargrove possa rafforzare un reparto che potrebbe essere fortemente indebolito all’inizio della prossima stagione; ciò if starting ends Will Smith and Charles Grant are forced to serve four-game suspensions, which remain on appeal in federal court.
Hargrove, 25, has had trouble with the NFL’s substance-abuse policy, violating it three times. After being suspended for all of 2008, Hargrove was reinstated this year. He worked out for the Saints last week, and team spokesman Greg Bensel said Tuesday that New Orleans had signed Hargrove and released end Josh Savage.
Hargrove was a third-round draft choice by the St. Louis Rams in 2004 and started in 2005. He was traded to the Buffalo Bills in 2006.
