Not long after getting dumped by the team for which he took an axe in the leg, punter Chris Hanson has agreed to terms with the Saints.

Per a league source, the contract is a one-year deal, worth $630,000.

The other punter on the Saints roster is Steve Weatherford, who handled the job in 2006. He had a gross average of 43.8 yards and a net of 37.5.

Hanson, an eight-year veteran, spent six seasons with the Jaguars. In 2006, he averaged 40.6 yards per punt, with a net of 33.4 yards. He was cut this week after the Jaguars actually burned a draft pick on the position.

A couple of years ago, coach Jack Del Rio put a tree stump and an axe in the locker room, inviting players to periodically take a few cuts at the lumber as part of the team's "keep chopping wood" motto. Hanson swung the thing right into his leg.

From your thread title, I thought it was Jason Hanson - that would have been interesting.
