A new report reveals that the New Orleans Saints have signed Michael Ola to a one-year deal, and the contract details are interesting, to say the least.

According to Fox News, the reserve offensive tackle was cut twice last season, but appeared in seven games before finishing the season on injured reserve. It's unclear what the terms of his deal were, or how much he's getting paid to stay on the team, but it's clear that Ola has another year to still prove himself.
The 30-year-old has an extensive career in both professional and college football, but has only stayed on the team for a year at a time.
He played college football at Hampton University. He has also been a member of the Jacksonville Sharks, Montreal Alouettes, Miami Dolphins, Chicago Bears, San Diego Chargers, Detroit Lions, Seattle Seahawks, and New York Giants.
In addition to having an extensive history with the New Orleans Saints, Michael Ola has had an extensive history with the Buffalo Bills.
On September 28, 2016, Ola was signed by the Bills off the Giants' practice squad. He was released by the Bills on October 25, 2016, and was re-signed to the practice squad two days later. He was promoted back to the active roster on December 13, 2016. On September 2, 2017, Ola was waived/injured by the Bills and placed on injured reserve. He was released on September 6, 2017.
The question of whether Michael Ola will become a consistent contributor still remains, of course.
