The Saints have signed 32-year old TE Darnell Dinkins.  Dinkins played in 14 games for the Browns last season and he caught 5 passes for 41 yards (8.2 avg) with 1 TD grab.  Dinkins will probably back up for the Saints at TE in 2009 but his biggest role will be to help out on special team.  Dinkins has played in 76 games in his NFL career and he has caught 25 passes for 228 yards (9.1 avg) with 3 TD grabs.  He also had returned 15 kickoffs for 160 yards (10.7 avg) and he has made 35 tackles in his career.  This was a solid signing for the Saints as Dinkins is a “team” player.
