The New Orleans Saints announced today that they have signed Indianapolis Colts restricted free agent cornerback Jason David to an offer sheet. Terms of the offer sheet were undisclosed. The announcement was made by Saints' Executive Vice President/General Manager Mickey Loomis.
David, 24, has started 43 regular season games for the Colts after being selected in the fourth round of the 2004 NFL Draft. The product of Washington State University has appeared in all 48 regular season games while also starting all six postseason games that the Colts have played since 2004, including the Colts' Super Bowl XLI victory over the Chicago Bears. In regular season play, David has collected 147 career tackles (125 solo stops) with eight interceptions for 65 yards (8.1 yards per return average) with a long return of 34 yards (2004) and one touchdown. Additionally, the Canadian-born (Edmonton, Alberta) David, who grew up in Covina, Ca., has recovered three fumbles during his first three seasons on the professional level while also seeing spot duty as a punt returner (9-50-5.6 avg.).
As a collegian at Washington State, David was a three-year starter for the Cougars who started his final 35 games in his 44-game career. He collected 128 career tackles in addition to 16 interceptions for 316 yards, four fumble recoveries, two forced fumbles and 36 passes defensed. He set a school mark for career interceptions (16) and touchdowns via interception returns (three).
Under the terms of the NFL's Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Colts have seven days to match the terms and conditions of the Saints' offer. If Indianapolis elects not to match New Orleans' offer, they would receive the Saints' fourth-round draft choice (#126 overall) as compensation.
