Sometimes when you make a decision, it’s called a no-brainer when it was an easy call. When the Saints signed former Vikings guard and center Nick Easton late Sunday evening, Mar 17, that move is one we can comfortably call a brainer.
The jig is up on the whole super, double top-secret mission to pretend the retirement of Max Unger was a surprise to anybody on the Saints roster or in their front office. Unger has admitted now that he let everybody know what was happening over a month ago. As I noted at the time, Unger isn’t the type to make a spontaneous, life-changing move like that, nor is he inconsiderate enough to not alert his employer and friends.
