Saints re-sign defensive end Darryl Tapp: source

The New Orleans Saints have leaned heavily on their starting defensive ends the first two games, but they'll enter Sunday's game with another option in the rotation.

Defensive end Darryl Tapp re-signed with the Saints on Wednesday, according to a league source. Tapp spent 2016 with the Saints, and although he made the initial 53-man roster, the team cut him in the days leading up to the Week 1 game against the Minnesota Vikings.
