The New Orleans Saints will bring in free agent tight end Joel Dreessen for a visit this week, a league source confirmed. The Houston Texans veteran is solid as both a blocker and a pass catcher. Dreessen, who will turn 30 this summer, has 110 career receptions for 1,364 yards and 13 touchdowns in his six-year career with the Texans and New York Jets. The 6-foot-4, 245-pounder has been especially effective over the past three seasons in Houston, combining for 90 catches, 1,191 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also played on all of the Texans' special teams units and was considered one of the most underrated players on the team. Source: The Times-Picayune
