Cornerback Fabian Washington has reached an agreement with the New Orleans Saints and is expected to sign with the club today, a source close to the Bayshore High product said.

The seven-year NFL veteran was with Baltimore last season and earned a reported $1.8 million. He is expected to sign for more than $2 million with the Saints, the source said.

There were reports that the 28-year-old might go to Minnesota, Tampa Bay or the New York Jets, but the Saints are said to have offered the 5-foot-11, 175-pounder the best opportunity.
