Former B.C. Lions all-star linebacker Adam Bighill has agreed to a new contract with the New Orleans Saints.

The 29-year-old Bighill, one of 10 players to ink reserve/future deals with the Saints on Tuesday, spent most of his first year on the Saints’ practice roster but did manage to see action in three games and record one tackle.

Signing an NFL reserve/future contract means that Bighill is locked up for the 2018 season — and no other team can sign him — but his contract doesn’t count against the Saints’ salary cap or roster limit until the start of the new season.

Bighill made the announcement on his Twitter account Tuesday night.
