New Saints QB Tom Savage 'like a sponge' trying to soak up the playbook

After signing with a new team and therefore having to learn a new offense and new terminology, talk around the Savage household has been a little bit technical at times during the offseason.

"I know my wife is getting good at calling (plays) to me on the phone," said New Orleans Saints quarterback Tom Savage.

The Saints signed Savage to a one-year deal this March to offset the loss of Chase Daniel, putting him in a competition with Taysom Hill for the top spot behind Drew Brees. Priority No. 1 has been getting comfortable with a Saints offensive system that has been evolving in place for more than a decade.
