Saints Could Use Offensive-Line Help

Saints Could Use Offensive-Line Help

9 months ago

The New Orleans Saints tried to select their left tackle of the future in the 2022 NFL draft by taking Trevor Penning, but that decision has bombed, as Penning has started just six games and been benched since then. It's why The Athletic's Larry Holder is suggesting that the team's biggest offseason need in 2024 is tackle and/or the guard position on the offensive line. Penning's failures have forced veteran Andrus Peat to fill in at left tackle with utility lineman James Hurst playing left guard. It's been a less-than-optimal situation for New Orleans' offensive line. If they do not address the issues, quarterback Derek Carr could be in for another injury-plagued season. Expect the Saints to address their offensive-line concerns through both free agency and the draft.
