The New Orleans Saints offensive line added a new face this week, with former backup guard/tackle Patrick Omameh joining the team off of waivers. He was recently waived by the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Saints were quick to file a claim for him, per the NFL daily transactions wire.
Omameh, who turns 31 on Dec. 29, has appeared in 6 games for the Raiders this season — though primarily on special teams, where he saw 29 snaps (compared to just 17 snaps with the Las Vegas offense). He took the field for 15 games with the Saints last season, including the playoffs, totaling 156 snaps and including a critical short-notice start at left tackle on Thanksgiving Day against the Atlanta Falcons.
