The New Orleans Saints signed unrestricted free agent Jared Cook on Tuesday, filling a hole at tight end.

The Saints had been targeting Cook through the offseason after the retirement of Benjamin Watson. Cook made a career-high 68 receptions for 896 yards and six touchdowns with the Oakland Raiders in 2018, when he earned his first Pro Bowl nod.

Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Cook, who turns 32 next month, has been productive in stints with the Raiders, Green Bay Packers, St. Louis Rams and Tennessee Titans. He has 425 catches for 5,464 yards and 25 touchdowns in a 10-year career. Cook has at least 39 receptions in seven of the past eight seasons.
