The New Orleans Saints were able to keep their depth at the offensive guard position in check after resigning Calvin Throckmorton to a one-year deal. Throckmorton was slated to hit the free agency market that starts on March 15th when the official start of the league year begins, but the Saints were able to lock him up before that date. According to NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill, the one-year deal for Throckmorton is worth $940,000. He qualified for the ERFA tender value at around $825,000, but New Orleans signed him to the veteran’s minimum.

Calvin Throckmorton’s Football Career:​

Throckmorton spent his collegiate career at Oregon before being drafted after the conclusion of the 2019 season for the Ducks. With Oregon, Throckmorton would make 52 consecutive starts to finish his collegiate career. The Bellevue, Washington native would allow just one sack over his final 3,222 snaps, including 1,602 in pass protection. He was the only FBS lineman during the 2018 season to start at four different positions.

Throckmorton has been able to show his versatility to play at any position on the offensive line and his accolades showed that during his junior and senior season at Oregon as he was named a second-team All-American.
