New Orleans continues to shop in the bargain basement bin.

We absolutely love the Aubrayo Franklin signing. Wednesday’s agreement with tackle Alex Barron won’t make the same impact, but New Orleans did pick up some veteran depth at a position in need.

Doug Tatum of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that Barron is on board.

Jermon Bushrod was brought back to the left tackle. The team has Jonathan Stinchcomb at right tackle and Charles Brown in the mix off the bench. Barron provides veteran insurance in case one of the above gets hurt.
