Saints To Sign Ex-Bears FB Jason McKie

Another former Chicago Bears player is headed to the New Orleans Saints. Fullback Jason McKie, released by the organization on March 16, will sign a free agent contract with the defending Super Bowl champions, according to a source familiar with the situation. The move reunites McKie with former teammate Alex Brown, who signed a two-year deal with the Saints in April. McKie spent seven seasons in Chicago, starting 46 regular season games and helping pave the way for a pair of 1,000 yard rushers (Thomas Jones and Matt Forte). The eight-year NFL veteran caught a career-high 25 passes in 2006.

I thought McKie was known as a pretty good fullback in the league? I hadn't seen him play alot, I was surprised when he got cut just because of the said hearsay. Could be a solid signing by the Saints. On a sidenote, Heath Evans is a grown man.
