NFL

Baltimore Ravens

Easton's professional career got off to a slow start. He was not considered in the 2015 NFL Draft , but was then signed by the Baltimore Ravens as a free agent . He went through all of the preparation, but was given up again before the start of the regular season .

San Francisco 49ers

On September 5, 2015, the San Francisco 49ers exchanged it for a seven-round pick in the 2016 draft, only to pass it on to the Minnesota Vikings a month later for linebacker Gerald Hodges and a six -round pick . It was part of the active roster in the meantime , but was not used once.

Minnesota Vikings

At the Vikings, too, he was initially condemned to watch. It was not until 2016, after an injury to starting - center , Easton came to his first stakes and finally mustered in 11 games. In 2017 he played 12 starting left tackles before he had to end the season early due to a broken ankle.

The bad luck with injuries remained loyal to him and he was out for the entire 2018 season with a serious neck injury that he sustained in preparation.

New Orleans Saints

After the long-time center Max Unger announced his retirement from active sport in March 2019, the New Orleans Saints signed him . Easton received a four-year contract over 24 million US dollars .

However, the rookie Erik McCoy was then preferred as the starting center. Easton was used in various positions over the course of the season. Especially after the injury to Andrus Peat , he got more and more playing time.
