The New Orleans Saints and former Minnesota Vikings offensive lineman Nick Easton have agreed on a four-year contract.

Easton’s agent, Joe Linta, confirmed the deal on Twitter. Easton became a free agent after spending the 2018 season on injured reserve, following neck surgery.

Minnesota’s starter at left guard in 2017, Easton is a natural center who could fill the retiring Max Unger’s spot in the middle for the Saints.
