Like I said, Saints are more concerned about that interior offensive line and keep Brees' windshield clean while driving down the field...

C/G Chris Watt, Age: 26yo; Height: 6' 3"; Weight: 320 lbs; College: Notre Dame; Drafted: 3rd Round, 25th Pick (No. 89) by the Chargers where he played 17 games, starting 8 before being put on the PUP list in 2016 and washing out after failing his physical.

They are also going to need a full complement of centers for drills when training camp starts. They need that positional camp body until Unger is cleared to return.

Here's to hoping he's healthy again. Pretty good signing if he is.

Makes me worry about this game 1 stuff from Unger, you? Also, the no news on Fairley is worrisome as well.

Of course it is.

Training drills require a certain number of centers. Unger will be unavailable for camp, therefore an additional center was needed. And I guess you have your own version of the old saying, huh?

Well, these are the interior offensive linemen:

LG (2) 75 - Andrus Peat, 77 - John Fullington, 78 - Landon Turner

C (2) 61 - Josh LeRibeus, 66 - Jack Allen, 63 - Cameron Tom (UDFA), 60 - Max Unger

RG (2) 67 - Larry Warford, 65 - Senio Kelemete, 00 - Chris Watt

Unger's replacement is somewhere between Kelemete, LeRibeus, Allen, Watt, and Tom...

Problem with Tom is that he's only 290 lbs.; Allen is also small and only 6' 1"; saw interview with LeRibeus, not a guy that exudes confidence; Watt is checks the boxes, including being injured; so the question is - Is Kelemete up to the task or not?!?

Due diligence.

Chris has actual NFL starter experience & Tom doesn't. Good depth is the name of the game & you can never have enough linemen. The weak will weed itself out at training camp.

We might have reached the throw a bunch of stuff against the wall and see what sticks phase.
Hindsight is 20-20, but holding onto Hills or Evans would have have been a nice insurance plan.

surprised we haven't worked out Pasztor or Clady. Oher is supposedly being cut, but now that we have a hole Carolina might keep him a few more weeks

What hole? We drafted arguably the best left tackle in the first round of the draft.
