Saints re-sign offensive lineman Michael Ola to a 1-year deal

The New Orleans Saints are bringing back veteran offensive lineman Michael Ola on a one-year deal.
Ola appeared in seven games over two separate stints with the Saints in 2018 before he suffered a high ankle sprain against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14. He finished the season on injured reserve.
The deal is believed to be for the veterans minimum of $805,000.
New Orleans cut Ola after training camp only to re-sign him a few days before the season opener against the Buccaneers. He played four special teams snaps in that game and was released again the following week.
He signed with the Saints again in October and served as a reserve offensive lineman in six games before his season-ending injury, playing 32 offensive snaps and 29 special teams snaps as the team’s sixth offensive lineman while Terron Armstead was recovering from a torn pectoral muscle.
In Ola, the Saints bring back a versatile lineman who has 20 NFL starts at four separate positions, with the majority of those starts coming in his rookie season with the Bears in 2014.
The 6-foot-5, 312-pound Ola began his professional career in the Canadian Football League, playing with the Montreal Alouettes from 2012-13. He turns 31 this April.

Yeah I think Taylor Stallworth can replace Davison.

I agree with this except for Davison. LeRibeus faired decently well when starting for Peat but ankle injuries can linger for OL and I'm not convinced we can't get someone with no injury history to replace his depth. Not to mention, I think that Tom likely proved himself to be the team's go-to backup guard.

Yes because its easy to catch a pass when the ball is still 4 yards from getting to you and you're on your arse as a result of a helmet to helmet hit.

Nah...his timeline is less heartbreaking than ours. Let him continue to live it.

Apparently it is still too soon to joke about. Of course I know it wasn't Tommy Lee's fault...
