Here’s some good news. SiriusXM’s Adam Caplan reports that the New Orleans Saints are re-signing offensive lineman James Hurst, citing Hurst’s agent. Hurst arrived in New Orleans last summer on a veteran’s minimum contract and played more than 400 snaps, mostly as a backup while notching a couple of starts in relief of injured left tackle Terron Armstead. He also filled in at left guard in a pinch.

So bringing him back is smart; the terms of his contract could make the move look even better if it’s another low-cost minimum salary.
