New 4th quarterback? Peyton Manning visits Saints camp

A reporter jokingly asked if the Saints had signed a fourth quarterback?

Two time Super Bowl champion Peyton Manning visited the Greenbrier and Saints camp Sunday. Manning was in town for a speaking engagement. Head coach Sean Payton said Manning texted him a few weeks ago, and asked if he could come by. Payton and the Saints were happy to oblige.

Here’s video of Manning at camp Sunday, in a shirt and tie.

Among those Manning greeted was safety Roman Harper. Last February Harper and the Panthers lost to Manning in the Super Bowl. In February of 2010, Harper and the Saints defeated Manning and the Colts in Super Bowl 44.

Among the Saints not practicing Sunday were safeties Jairus Byrd and Erik Harris. The Saints practice Monday, then have an off day Tuesday.
