Per Jeremy Fowler on twitter.

Started 9 games at center last year for New Orleans.

He has a major red flag injury history

Veteran NFL center Nick Easton has possible visits with the Bengals and Texans in the coming days, per source, while the Saints have expressed interest in re-signing him if they can make it work cap-wise. Easton started nine games for New Orleans last year.

If the contract is low enough,this would be one place to take a chance since we have two guys who can play center. So if he misses games it won't be that bad. 

Does anyone have a PFF history on him?

Or we cut Hudson or Price and get a better center maybe?

He had a neck injury and missed all of 2018, last 2 seasons in NOLA he has played when needed and hasn't had any injury concerns. He would be an upgrade over what we currently have on IOL. We could still address depth and future starters in the draft.

I’d want a better look at both his injury history and his level of play.

It' depth which we need at the position. Something must be up with Blythe who I thought would be a nice add.

Be a good move to bring him in with the unknown status of Hopkins to start the season.

He had 3 Concussions in 2020.

59.6 grade last year.

Not seeing the upside then.
