METAIRIE, La. (AP) New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis says the club has signed tight end Garrett Griffin and has waived defensive lineman Mitchell Loewen because of a non-football injury.
The 6-foot-4, 240-pound Griffin, whose signing was announced Monday evening, is an undrafted rookie out of Air Force, where he played the past four college seasons.
A native of Louisburg, Kansas, Griffin played in 44 games with 17 starts for Air Force, catching 41 passes for 670 yards and eight touchdowns.
