Veteran defensive tackle Tony McDaniel spent the past three days trying out for the New Orleans Saints.
During Thursday's practice, McDaniel's agent, David Canter, tweeted that the Saints were signing McDaniel.
When practice was over, though, McDaniel still had no idea. A member of the Saints' personnel staff came by his locker and asked him to come upstairs. Then, a reporter told McDaniel he was going up there to sign his contract, which stunned the 32-year-old.
"I just appreciate the fact that they gave me a chance to come out here and gave me another opportunity to play football," McDaniel said.
