The Saints have invested heavily in a quarterback, and they want to make sure to protect him.
According to Field Yates of ESPN, the Saints have picked up the fifth-year option on offensive lineman Andrus Peat, keeping him under contract through 2019.
The 13th overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, the tackle from Stanford bounced around a bit his first two years, but settled in at left guard and became a steady player for them.
Peat ended last year on injured reserve after suffering a broken ankle in the wild card round of the playoffs.
