In a rather odd development, the New Orleans Saints reportedly have an interest in the Cincinnati Benga’s Tyler Eifert. This comes just months after the team signed elite 6-foot-5 tight end Jared Cook.
CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora first reported that the NFC South-leading Saints are aiming for yet another tight end.
League sources said the Saints and Patriots are among the teams most deeply looking for pass catching help, and both would have interest in oft-injured tight end Tyler Eifert as well, who is making just $1 million this season.
The Bengals are likely to drop to 0-5 after struggling to score against the Cardinals.
