My understanding is at least 4 teams have engaged in preliminary discussions with free agent G Nick Easton (Saints)—1 of which includes New Orleans which is open to Easton returning after the club maneuvers through cap gymnastics. Meanwhile, Easton is not in a huge hurry to sign.

The New Orleans Saints completed an expected roster move earlier in February by releasing veteran guard Nick Easton, a decision that was chalked up to salary cap accounting (saving almost $6 million) as well as his injury history — Easton suffered three concussions during the 2020 season, with the last brain injury ending his year on injured reserve.
