The Saints took care of a little contractual business before taking on the Falcons in Week One.

Center Erik McCoy‘s agents announced that their client agreed to terms on a long-term extension with the Saints. Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that the five-year extension is worth up to $63.75 million and that it includes over $40 million in guarantees. No further details of the deal have been reported.

McCoy has been a starter since joining the Saints as a second-round pick in 2019. He started every game the team played in his first two seasons, but missed five games last year.

The Saints signed right tackle Ryan Ramczyk to a long-term deal last year and McCoy will now join him as a cornerstone of the offensive line in New Orleans for years to come.

Good deal. Solid player under contract is a great thing. Now if they can just get the guys right next to him to put their big boy panties on and play well all will be great

Great deal if he stays healthy and doesn’t try to jam team up for more money in 2 years.
