Haralson was traded to the Saints from the 49ers on Monday, the San Jose Mercury News reports.
The eight-year veteran will provide New Orleans with the outside linebacking depth that it has been seeking since Victor Butler tore his ACL in June. Haralson could compete for a starting spot in New Orleans, and at the very least should serve as one of the team's top linebackers off the bench. Terms of the 49ers' compensation from the trade were not initially disclosed.
