Barrington signs with Saints

Parker grad Sam Barrington has signed with the New Orleans Saints. The 7th round pick of the Packers in 2013 was ready to take over a starting role with the Packers in 2015 when an injury kept him out of the entire season. The linebacker was waived by the Packers earlier this year and signed with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he saw limited action in only a couple of games. The Chiefs released him a couple of weeks ago..
