The New Orleans Saints have
signed tight end Buck Ortega to the active roster
and terminated the contract of quarterback Joey
Harrington.
Ortega is a first-year player who initially joined the
Saints as a member of their practice squad for the
final month of the 2007 season. The 6-4, 250-pound
tight end first has split time this season between the
team’s practice squad and active roster, making
three tackles on special teams in three games played.

Needing help in other
positions, the Saints promoted two practice squad

Josh Savage. The Saints made room for them by
releasing Lehr and placing linebacker Mark
Simoneau on injured reserve.
