Saints

New Saints OL Nick Easton says it’s “pretty obvious” why he made the decision to sign with New Orleans, as opposed to returning to the Vikings. 

“Obviously, you have a well established offense and an unreal quarterback room that they have down there,” Easton said on SiriusXM NFL Radio. “Not to mention one of the most well respected offensive lines in football. It’s pretty obvious why I chose to go down there. And I’m fired up to be part of it.”
