Saints signed Kicker Charlie Smyth (re-signed to 2 year deal)

We have re-signed Charlie on a 2 year deal, per his Instagram. I guess that makes him the first signing of the rebuild, on day 1!

I would expect that is on Practice Squad terms matching what he is on this year but I would really hope he will give some serious competition to Grupe in Camp now that he has a year under his belt. I also hope that we might think about using the exemption we get for an international player to be added as an additional slot to the game day roster I think 4 games of the year and let him try a 60something harder should needs dictate.

Either way, well done Charlie, keep working and Up County Down!
It’s a standard min. FA deal to sign him back to the roster. Charlie’s salary will be standard 1st-2nd year NFL rostered vet salary in 700K-1M+ range until/unless he goes to the practice squad again. But practice squad isn’t determined until the end of August.
