NEW ORLEANS (AP) -The New Orleans Saints say they’ve signed veteran free agent kicker John Carney.
Carney was selected for the Pro Bowl last season after he converted 35 of 38 field goal attempts and all 38 extra-point kicks for the New York Giants.
Carney is rejoining the Saints after spending six years in New Orleans from 2001 through 2006. The 45-year-old is the second-leading scorer in franchise history with 661 points. He ranks fourth in NFL history with 1,995 career points and 460 field goals in 289 regular-season games.
The 5-foot-11, 185-pound Carney graduated from Notre Dame. The Pro Bowl selection was the second of his career and the first since 1994, when he was a member of the San Diego Chargers.
