Saints sign 6’8 Chargers OT Storm Norton to one year deal (OL depth) (1yr/$1.01M) (1 Viewer)

Yikes, after doing some research, my guy is pretty bad. He played alot in 2021 where he gave up a whopping 9 sacks in 15gms. Yikes! James Hurst gave up 5 sacks last year as a comparison. This signing smells of desperation, if Penning doesn't pan out I hope the Saints have a Plan B.
This is just a depth signing. I highly doubt they’re pinning their hopes up on this guy turning it around. It’s good to have vet lineman as backups.

I wonder if Landon Young looks that bad?
 
Given what Marrone was able to accomplish in just one offseason with Ruiz, I'm not writing anyone off.
Yeah, this guy is a low-risk project. He wasn’t even mentioned by any of the national reporters. His agent tweeted it and some local reporters caught it.

Maybe we catch lightning in a bottle or stick him on the practice squad. Otherwise, nothing lost.
 
I remember him being in the XFL in 2020. Giant guy who played OK against XFL talent. Wasn't shocked he got a chance with the Chargers after the XFL shut down, but was surprised he hung on for a couple of years. Hopefully the "turnstyle" is closed.
