This could be a big depth addition on the offensive line, free-agent C Billy Price, with lots of starting experience.

Some excerpts from the link above:

Price, 28, was a first-round pick by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2018 NFL Draft out of Ohio State. He was a consensus All-American won the Dave Rimington Award in 2017. The two-time All-Big 10 selection was also a teammate of Michael Thomas and Marshon Lattimore with the Buckeyes.
...

The 6'4" and 303-Lb. Price can also play guard, but most of his NFL career has been spent at center. New Orleans is clearly looking at better depth there by visiting with Price and attempting to speak with Elflein, also from Ohio State.

...

New Orleans RG Cesar Ruiz can also play center, but the Saints have also used Will Clapp and Josh Andrews there in McCoy’s absence. A player like Price would provide a big depth upgrade over Andrews or Clapp, while allowing Ruiz to remain at guard in the event of injury.

It pays off when everybody buys in. Even one or two slackers can change the pace at practice. Apparently, last year not a lot of players bought into DA's first year but this year is a different story with great OTA attendance.

Been trying to post this since last night. The severe weather came through here and knocked out everything. Just got power and internet back.

Saints also signed OL Billy Price who visited yesterday.
