So a decent short yardage back who can score a lot of TDs in the red zone. Good pick up.

The future contract guys are basically try out guys. Don't sweat it.

Yeah I always liked Tim Hightower. Didn't even realize he had such serious knee issues. Guess it's a low risk/high reward situation.

3rd and short back.

Had a nice year in 2010 with Arizona, but damn that's horrible to recover from.

They could be trying to drive Ingrams contract down.

Wouldn't suprise me if we picked up another veteran RB

This is the same dude that ripped off a 70 yard run against us on the first series of the game in the 2009 divisional when he was playing for Arizona. Everybody thought it was the same ol saints that will continue the 3 game losing streak but we wound up winning 45-14 and a first step to our Super Bowl win in Miami.

If the Saints keep looking, they can find more ex-players with bad knees to fill all of their weak spots.
