The Facts: Johnson agreed to a one-year contract to return to the New Orleans Saints on Monday. Johnson's agent, Steve Baker, confirmed the length of the agreement but did not disclose financial terms. "Eric feels that the Saints' offense is a perfect fit for him," Baker said.
Diehards Line:Johnson played 14 games for New Orleans last season, starting 12, and caught 48 passes for 378 yards and two touchdowns. He was 11th in catches among NFL tight ends. Bringing back Johnson gives the Saints three proven tight ends. Last week, New Orleans re-signed Billy Miller, who had 27 catches for 328 yards and two TDs last season. Mark Campbell, who spent last season on injured reserve, also is expected to return.
