According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, the Saints brought in free agent LB Ben Heeney for a tryout this week.
Heeney, 25, is a former fifth-round pick of the Raiders back in 2015. He was in the second year of his four-year, $2,773,724 contract and set to make a base salary of $615,000 when the Raiders elected to cut him loose coming out of the preseason.
In 2016, Heeny appeared in four games for the Raiders and recorded 15 tackles and no sacks or interceptions.
