Jabari Greer
update 6:15 p.m. The New Orleans Saints hit one of their free agency goals today with the signing of cornerback Jabari Greer, according to league sources. It is a four-year deal.Greer, 5 feet 11, 180 pounds, comes to the Saints after starting 23 games the past two seasons as an undrafted free agent with the Buffalo Bills.
Greer, 27, has four career interceptions, including two last season that he returned for touchdowns. He missed the final six games of last season with a knee injury. The Saints beat out Cleveland, Tampa Bay and Detroit for Greer.
He was a standout hurdler at the University of Tennessee, winning the 2003 NCAA championship in the 60 meter indoors.
Saints officials remain interested in trying to sign a free safety in free agency, either Darren Sharper or Gerald Sensabaugh, both of whom visited with Saints officials earlier this week.
Earlier today, team officials announced the re-signing of veteran wide Devery Henderson to a four-year contract.
In other developments, Coach Sean Payton denied reports that the Saints are interested in running back Rudi Johnson and no visit has been scheduled for cornerback Shawn Springs, who is meeting today with Philadelphia Eagles officials.
