Yesterday, we reported that the Saints were hosting free agent offensive guard Patrick Omameh on a tryout visit during Sunday’s, Jul 28, practice session at training camp. Reports late Sunday evening were that the Saints and Omameh have agreed to terms and he’ll be joining the club.
Omameh is a decent looking prospect. That being said, it’s not entirely clear why the Saints made this signing or brought him in in the first place. There are currently eight players on the roster for either guard spot. There’s Marcus Henry, Will Clapp, Cameron Tom, Nick Easton, Erik McCoy, Ryan Groy, Larry Warford and Andrus Peat.
