Field Yates of ESPN reports that the Saints have signed veteran DE George Johnson to a contract on Tuesday and waived OT Bryce Harris.
Johnson, 30, originally signed on with the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent out of Rutgers back in 2010. After a brief stint with the Vikings, the Lions signed Johnson to a contract back in April of 2014.
Detroit later traded him to the Buccaneers in return for a 2015 fifth-round pick that ultimately became Michael Burton. However, Tampa Bay elected to cut him loose coming out of the preseason and he later signed on with the Lions.
