New Orleans is adding another post-draft veteran. The team agreed to terms on a one-year deal with offensive lineman Josh Andrews on Monday, according to his agent (on Twitter).
Although Andrews has only made four starts throughout his career, he has been in the NFL since 2014. The former Eagles UDFA spent last season with the Falcons.

Andrews spent four years with the Eagles, collecting a Super Bowl ring for his backup role on Philadelphia’s 2017 squad, and landed with the Vikings in 2018. While the Oregon State product returned to Philadelphia in 2018, he finished that season with the Colts, who kept him around through the 2019 campaign as well. Andrews started four games with the Jets in 2020 and played in two games as a Falcon last year, having signed with Atlanta for the veteran minimum. It would surprise if this deal was worth more than that low-seven-figure amount.
The 30-year-old blocker will join other vets vying for backup jobs on the Saints’ O-line. James Hurst and Forrest Lamp also reside as backup options for a Saints O-line that returns four starters from last season and has first-round pick Trevor Penning with a clear avenue toward the starting left tackle gig.
