Scott Fujita, the Super Bowl-winning linebacker later enmeshed in the Saints’ bounty scandal, signed a one-day contract with the Saints before announcing his retirement yesterday.
Fujita, 33, finished his career with the Browns but was implicated and suspended for one game by commissioner Roger Goodell for his role in what the NFL called a performance pool designed to knock targeted opponents out of games from 2009 to 2011.
Fujita later was essentially absolved of blame by former commissioner Paul Tagliabue.
