The deal is reported to be worth around $40 million, with about $19 million in guarantees. This information comes per ESPN's John Clayton.

This is obviously great news for the Saints and their fans. Now the team can focus on getting offensive guard locked up to a long-term deal before he hits the open market at 4pm ET today. Get 'er done, Mickey!
