The New Orleans Saints are signing free-agent wide receiver Hakeem Nicks to a one-year deal, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Nicks appeared to confirm the signing Wednesday via Twitter:

Nicks worked out for the Saints in May and will replace Vincent Brown on the team's depth chart after he was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

The veteran pass-catcher spent six of his seven NFL seasons with the New York Giants, highlighted by back-to-back 1,000-yard outputs in 2010 and 2011.

Nicks has also spent time with the Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans. He caught seven passes for 54 yards through six games with the Giants last season after signing in November.

The 28-year-old Nicks will be the oldest receiver in Saints training camp.
