Saints Sign C Nick Easton

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Twitter Does that help ease the nerves a little bit? It’s a desperation move for a guy who isn’t very good and missed all of last season with a neck injury....

Time will tell. I saw several Minnesota fans saying he was good when healthy, but also expressing concern over the neck injury. Hopefully our new team doctors know what they're doing.

Re: Saints Sign C Nick Easton

Like Easton for the sixth-man/Kelemete interior role (Kelemete could play right tackle in spot-starts)...

Still think we need to get aggressive and geaux after Skura...

Re: Saints Sign C Nick Easton

Latavius Murray signs ...
Teddy B re signs ...
Now Easton ...

All former Vikings. Anyone else notice the trend here?

Back on topic - don't know much about Easton but I hope he can stay healthy (he's been injured a lot). I hope this isn't desperation signing 2.0 (Coleman/Fleener) all over again.

Any ways, welcome to New Orleans Nick .

Trend or coincidence?

From what I’ve gathered, he’s a really good pass blocker but bad in run blocking. There’s some out there with O-Line knowledge who like the move:

I find it interesting that we are bringing in guys that Teddy knows & has played with. I'm probably over thinking (life after Brees) this but just a random thought I had.

Coincidence. Don't think he had more than 10 snaps with either Murray or Easton.

Re: Saints Sign C Nick Easton

Easton will slide into Unger's spot and now we just need a couple of quality backups from the draft. OL and TE are shaping up to be the needs in the draft. I still think it's TE first!
