Scott Fujita signed a one-day contract with the New Orleans Saints to retire as a member of the team in Machu Picchu on Monday

The New Orleans Saints announced Monday that linebacker Scott Fujita has signed a one-day contract with the team and will announce his retirement from professional football. The announcement was made by Saints’ Executive Vice President/General Manager Mickey Loomis.

“I’ve been fortunate to play in this league for a long time and for some great organizations, but there is no doubt that my times spent in New Orleans were some of the best years of my life,” Fujita said. “The way the team and the community embraced us when we first arrived, and the way they continue to do so, even today, shows how deep this connection is. I’m honored to be a part of this organization and so proud to retire as a New Orleans Saint.” LINK

i will always remember seeing him before the super bowl parade.
he was out in the streets before they boarded the floats, in normal street clothes. walking around Loyola just taking in the scene with a huge smile, knowing what they had done and how much it meant to the city

a true saint
