One of the moves the New Orleans Saints made to make up for losing David Onyemata and Shy Tuttle was signing defensive tackle Khalen Saunders to a three-year deal for $14.5 million earlier this week.

Not only does this move give the Saints much-needed muscle on the interior of their defensive line, but it reunites Saunders with an old teammate, safety Tyrann Mathieu from their days with the Kansas City Chiefs.

"Me and him actually went out to dinner last night and, you know, caught up and stuff like that. I'm happy to be back with him, man," said Saunders on Friday. "He's a real prevalent figure in my career.

"I came in as a rookie, and he was there, he was vet, he was a vocal leader. So, I'll never forget that. I'm happy to be back with him, man. And it's crazy, it's a little different this time because you know, I'm not a rookie no more, you know that I mean? So, I hope I can add to him and I hope I can add to that leadership with him."
