NOLA.com reports that the team has inked TE Buck Ortega:

The Saints waived tight end Buck Ortega. Ortega first joined the Saints as a member of the practice squad late in the 2007 season. The 6-4, 250-pound tight end split the 2008 campaign between the practice squad and the active roster, and played in 12 games and caught one pass for three yards and made 11 tackles on special teams, including making one stop in kick coverage in Sunday’s season-opener.
