The New Orleans Saints have re-signed backup quarterback Joey Harrington.

In seven seasons, Harrington has started 76 of the 81 games he has played in, completing 1,459 of 2,538 passes for 14,693 yards with 79 touchdowns and 85 interceptions.

Harrington, who is entering his eighth season, first signed with the Saints early in the 2008 season. A first-round draft choice in 2002 by the Detroit Lions, the 30-year-old quarterback served as the Saints’ third-string quarterback in 12 games but did not play in a game.

Harrington became a free agent after last season and re-signed with the Saints on Monday, at the outset of the club’s offseason conditioning program.
