Here’s some good news for Calvin Throckmorton: NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill reports the offensive linemen has signed a one-year extension to remain with the Saints for 2023, valued at $940,000 (the veteran’s minimum for someone with his experience).

That’s noteworthy because Throckmorton was the team’s only exclusive rights free agent, which qualified him for a one-year offer maxing out at about $825,000. So the Saints gave Throckmorton a little more than they necessarily needed to.

It makes sense to reward him after all of the snaps he’s played the last two years. Since signing with New Orleans as an undrafted free agent out of Oregon, Throckmorton has started 20 of the 31 games he’s appeared in for relief of Andrus Peat at left guard and Cesar Ruiz at right guard. He’s been an important player for the Saints up front, and odds are they’ll be calling his number again in 2023.

It great to keep him. We all know Peat will never make thru a season un injured and Throck has played well when needed. Throckmorton is versatile and has contributed a lot.

Now let's get rid of Peat and that ridiculous contract. Then Hurst and Throckmorton can compete for snaps if Penning develops and takes over LT.

A rare well done FO. A 100K bonus can go a long way with some guys. And its peanuts to the cap.

Pete Van Valkenburg (13 letters), Saints’ 1973 3rd Round Choice has Calvin by one surname letter.

$1.4M saved if he's cut now. $11.8M saved if he's cut after 6/1.
