As Reported

(Clarion Ledger) Former Ole Miss standout Todd Wade worked out for the New Orleans Saints coaching staff this morning and will try to parlay the tryout into a spot on the roster.
Wade underwent a physical exam, did some conditioning drills and worked out with a heavy bag at the end of the Saints morning practice at Millsaps College.The 6-foot-8, 317-pound offense tackle was released by the Houston Texans last month, two years into a six-year, $30 million contract he signed after playing his first four season with the Miami Dolphins.Saints coach Sean Payton hinted over the weekend that some help for his inexperienced, injury-plagued offensive line might be on the way this week. Payton said today he will evaluate Wade's workout and decide soon whether to sign the former Jackson Prep star to a free-agent contract."We worked him out this morning and we'll see," Payton said. "We gave him a physical early on, went through all of his measurables and the workout might have been 15 minutes. We were trying to make sure that he's healthy."
