With speculation mounting that the Detroit Lions are interested in signing New Orleans Saints restricted free agent defensive tackle Anthony Hargrove to an offer sheet, WWL-TV in New Orleans is reporting that Hargrove will sign his tender from the Saints on Monday.
Tendered at the original round level, the Saints would have had the right to match any offer for Hargrove, or receive a third round pick as compensation.
The former St. Louis Rams draft pick has had numerous off-field problems during his career, including being suspended for the entire 2008 season due to substance abuse. Hargrove experienced a renaissance with the Saints however, recording 42 tackles and five sacks last season.
As shown on NFL Network's Super Bowl Journey, Hargrove became a leader for the Saints defense last season, and his life and career are now on the right track.
Hargrove will make $1.226 million in 2010.
