Orleans Darkwa

Thoughts on him? Dude has low miles, just turned 26, had a career year last season when he finally got some carries (4.5 ypc). And is someone we could probably get for about $3.5/year. Why break the bank for a ride-off-into-the-sunset, 12 game Ingram?

You really think wasting 4 mil a year for 4 games is worth it?

I’d rather just roll with Jonathan Williams

More info on this guy from today, PFT:
"Free agent running back Orleans Darkwa had a plate inserted in his leg after fracturing it during the 2016 season, but it won’t be there when he next takes the field.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Darkwa had surgery to remove the plate on Wednesday. Per the report, the injury has fully healed and doctors recommended removing the plate in hopes that it helps with Darkwa’s explosiveness.
Darkwa visited the Patriots early in free agency and Rapoport reports there’s been other interest in his services from teams “encouraged” by the decision to remove the plate. Darkwa’s expected to need a month to heal, which may mean any suitors wait until just before training camp to renew discussions about a contract.
Darkwa ran 171 times for 751 yards and five touchdowns for the Giants last season."

The Saints need to do what the Steelers do every year during Leveon Bell's four game suspensions: Play the backup RB.
We don't need to pay someone 3.5 million for four games and screw up the good salary cap vibes we have right now.
Just play with what you have for the first four games.
I think a lot of fans are panicking because it's the first four games so it gets magnified more. If Ingram were injured in Weeks 6-9, no one would even bring up paying someone to play or, "Oh my god we need to go out and get someone!"
