Why did the Saints choose Andrus Peat over Larry Warford?

Is anyone as confident as I am about Easton filling Peat's spot? He played damn good when Peat was out if I remember correctly.

I wouldn't rule out Throckmorten to push Easton either. Maybe even Greenidge as well.

From my reading, he (Throck) has played a lot of different (C, G, T) positions while at Oregon. Versatility is the name of the game on the Saints O line.

I am. I think he’s the variable in this equation that no one seems to be talking about. He was brought in to be “the guy” before McCoy fell in their lap and he did very well filling in. He’s also probably the most versatile player along the line.

They didnt sign Peat to a new contract to have him as a back up. My only thought is Warford is 3 years older, we freed up 7.75 million by cutting him and Peat can play any guard or tackle position.

My comment was more geared to Easton being able to fill in if Peat went down.
