Lock-up on the line

The New Orleans Saints have found a new rock to serve as the cornerstone for their offensive line.

Three months after the Saints said goodbye to former guard Jahri Evans, the man who served as the bell cow for the New Orleans offensive line for a decade, the team has locked up left tackle Terron Armstead with a five-year extension through the 2021 season, a source confirmed to The Advocate on Wednesday.

By striking a deal with Armstead now, the Saints have locked up one of the league’s best young tackles a year before he hits free agency.
