Terron Armstead, who served as the blindside protector to ex-Saints quarterbacks Drew Brees, Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill, is taking his talents to South Florida.
The offensive tackle is reportedly signing a five-year, $87.5 million deal with $43.4 million guaranteed with the Miami Dolphins, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The three-time Pro Bowler, who was selected by New Orleans in the third round of the 2013 draft, had never been a free agent until this offseason. Less than two weeks ago, Armstead appeared on SiriusXM NFL Radio and said he believed it was still a possibility to remain in New Orleans, crediting the relationships he built with the team and his familiarity with the franchise.
