Free-agent CB Chris McAlister (Saints), who signed a $55 million contract in 2004, claims he is 'broke as a joke' and is currently living with his parents, according to court documents. McAlister has filed new documents in his child support war with his ex-wife in the hopes of lowering his $11,000 per month obligation. In the documents, McAlister states, 'I have been unemployed since 2009. I have no income ... I live in my parent's home. My parents provide me with my basic living expenses as I do not have the funds to do so.'

Saints | Week 11 Inactives Sun Nov 22, 11:42 AM
The New Orleans Saints have declared CB Chris McAlister, PK Garrett Hartley, CB Jabari Greer, LB Jonathan Casillas, WR Lance Moore, RB Reggie Bush, DL Sedrick Ellis, CB Tracy Porter inactive for Week 11.
| Footballguys view: Both starting corners are inactive, but the Saints get Darren Sharper back. Expect Pierre Thomas to get the bulk of the duty and some of Bush's outlet looks in the passing game. Mike Bell will rotate in and could see extended time if the Saints get out to a big lead. Lynell Hamilton also active and could see time as a goal line vulture. |

Pat Yasinskas, of ESPN.com, reports the New Orleans Saints have signed free-agent CB Chris McAlister (Ravens). Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: The New Orleans Saints must have concers that injuries to starters Tracy Porter and Jabari Greer could linger. Signing McAlister only gives them more depth in their defensive backfield, and veteran insurance if they need it. |
