**New Orleans Saints Sign OT Alan Herron to $1.0M Deal** The New Orleans Saints have added depth to their offensive line by signing tackle Alan Herron to a $1.0M AAV contract, earning a C+ grade from our Contract Value Index (CVI).

The $1.0M annual value aligns with what teams typically invest in depth tackles who bring experience and versatility to the position group. While this isn't a move that will generate headlines or significantly alter the Saints' offensive line hierarchy, it's the type of prudent depth signing that championship-caliber organizations make to ensure they're covered at critical positions.
