Saints Sign Schulters

The Saints signed veteran safety Lance Schulters on Monday and released backup long snapper Ryan Senser. The 33-year-old was a Pro Bowler with the San Francisco 49ers in 1999, and he was one of the league’s premier safeties for several years with the 49ers and Tennessee Titans. But he has played only sparingly the last two seasons with the Atlanta Falcons and Miami Dolphins.

“I’ve just been working out, staying in shape,” said Schulters, who has been out of work since last season. “I knew something was going to happen sooner or later. I just didn’t know when. You know how this league works.”

Schulters said he was excited to join fellow Hofstra alum Marques Colston in New Orleans. They’re part of a small fraternity in the NFL.

Dolphins Re-sign Schulters

The Dolphins decided to jump back in time for some much-needed help in the secondary Tuesday. No, they didn’t sign 1972’s Jake Scott or Dick Anderson. Instead, they landed safety Lance Schulters.

Schulters, who was one of the team’s best defensive backs in 2005, will make the trip to London and play Sunday against the Giants after spending the past several months working out in his home state of New Jersey.

Although he hasn’t played for any teams this year, Schulters, 32, is in solid shape and he has a passport — the two major prerequisites at this point for a team ailing at the position. Schulters spent some time with the Falcons last year, but he couldn’t hold the job.

The safety started all 16 games for Miami in 2005, picking up four interceptions, two sacks and 77 tackles.
