The Ravens signed Hurst as an undrafted free agent out of North Carolina in 2014.

Hurst allows the Saints to retain an experienced swing tackle and interior line option. He started at three positions for New Orleans last season, including twice at left tackle, once at left guard and twice as an extra lineman in jumbo formations.
