Chris Chamberlain (New Orleans Saints)

Saints agreed to terms with OLB Chris Chamberlain on a three-year contract.
He's reunited with defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, under whom Chamberlain spent the last three seasons. The 26-year-old started 13-of-16 games in 2011, racking up 81 tackles, two sacks, one forced fumble, and an interception. Look for Chamberlain to compete with Scott Shanle to start at weak-side 'backer.

Ben Grubbs (New Orleans Saints)

Ben Grubbs contract with New Orleans Saints...
Latest contract details:
Saints signed OG Ben Grubbs, formerly of the Ravens, to a five-year, $36 million deal.
The deal includes a $10 million signing bonus, and $16 million "fully guaranteed." Grubbs provides the Saints a soft landing after they lost LG Carl Nicks to the Bucs, but at a surprisingly steep cost. Grubbs landed just $11.5 million less total money, and will average roughly $2 million less per season. Grubbs graded out as Pro Football Focus' sixth-best left guard in 2011, but Nicks was significantly better in both run and pass blocking. Nicks is also more than a year younger. The Ravens will likely now focus on signing free agent Evan Mathis to replace Grubbs.

Marques Colston (New Orleans Saints)

Latest contract details:
3/13/2012: Signed a five-year, $40 million contract. The deal contains $19 million guaranteed.

Contract:5 yr(s) / $40,000,000 Signing Bonus - Average Salary $8,000,000 End Year:2016 Free Agent:2017 / Unrestricted

Saints re-signed WR Marques Colston to a five-year, $40 million contract.
The deal reportedly includes $19 million guaranteed. A move that previously seemed unlikely gained momentum after dueling Tuesday reports revealed the Saints were "working feverishly" to re-sign their physical slot receiver, and that Colston "badly" wanted to remain in New Orleans. Since the Saints were expected to enter free agency with just $7 million in cap space, Colston will undoubtedly earn a low base salary in 2012 before seeing his numbers steadily increase. It's the best possible news from a fantasy perspective, as Colston had little chance of equaling his routinely prolific production outside of the Saints' aggressive aerial attack. Colston will turn 29 in June.

Chase Daniel (New Orleans Saints)

Chase Daniel contract redskins, new orleans saints, terms, info...
Latest contract details:
The New Orleans Times-Picayune expects the Saints to re-sign restricted free agent Chase Daniel.
The Saints aren't expected to pursue a veteran free agent to compete with Daniel to be Drew Brees' backup. The former Heisman Trophy finalist has spent the past two seasons holding Brees' clipboard, and has attempted just eight career passes. He completed 28-of-53 passes for 447 yards and three touchdowns last preseason.

Saints re-signed restricted free agent QB Chase Daniel to a one-year, $1 million contract.
While Daniel had drawn mention as an RFA to watch on the open market, the Saints weren't even prepared to offer a tender. Rather than a non-guaranteed $1.26 million salary, Drew Brees' backup will receive the $1 million contract and a $300,000 signing bonus.

Will Smith (New Orleans Saints)

Latest contract details:
Contract:6 yr(s) / $61,400,000 Signing Bonus $12,000,000 Average Salary $10,233,333 End Year:2013 Free Agent:2015 / Unrestricted

The Saints have restructured RE Will Smith's contract, reducing his cap number by $4.78 million.
Smith won't be released after the restructure. He lost no money in the deal, instead having a $6.175M signing bonus implemented into his 2012 pay on top of a $150,000 workout bonus, $1M roster bonus to be paid on March 27, and $825,000 salary. Smith's cap numbers do shoot through the roof in 2013 and 2014, however, so he may be playing his final season in New Orleans.
