Bobby Hebert, a free agent, signs with the Atlanta Falcons and leaves the New Orleans Saints in 1993.
Montana could be staying in San Francisco, but there will be no homecoming in New Orleans for Bobby Hebert. Saints GM Jim Finks announced today that the team will not offer the unrestricted free agent quarterback a new contract. Despite criticism, Hebert led the Saints to a record of 49-29 since 1988, including playoffs. Under other quarterbacks, the team was 25-31. Finks signed Wade Wilson from the Atlanta Falcons, who will compete with Steve Walsh and Mike Buck for the starting position next season. Meanwhile, Bobby Hebert has officially signed with the Falcons, and Atlanta is considering trading last year's starter Chris Miller before the draft. Hebert's contract terms were not released. Hebert has been the Saints starter since 1987 but was partially blamed for the team's playoff failures. He stated he has no hard feelings and would be happy to win 14 games, even if two were lost to the Saints.
