    The New Orleans Saints have reached an agreement with former 49ers free-agent defensive tackle Aubrayo Franklin on a one-year deal, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Franklin, who turns 31 in August, has recorded 187 tackles, four sacks, one interception and three forced fumbles in his eight-year career. He originally was a fifth-round pick by the Baltimore Ravens in 2003 and joined San Francisco as a free agent before the 2007 season. The Niners placed the franchise tag on him in 2010 and had hopes of agreeing to a long-term deal but were unable to come to terms with him.
