The New Orleans Saints are rewarding one of the NFL's most promising young offensive linemen.
Left tackle Terron Armstead is signing a five-year extension that will keep him in New Orleans through 2021, a source involved with the deal told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport.
ESPN first reported Armstead's deal.
Perhaps the most anonymous of last year's Pro Bowl snubs, Armstead emerged as a top-notch blindside protector in his third NFL season.
"There's not a left tackle I would trade him for in the league," coach Sean Payton raved in late December.
