re: If Ingram walks and Hunt isn’t an option what should we do at RB?

You pay Ingram. Don’t mess with chemistry plus he’s excellent in pass protection. It’s not like he’s going to break the bank anyway. 3 years $12 million should do it.

After the way the NFL treated the Saints, I would not be surprised at any Saints players testing the market and just going to any team that pays more.

That’s what his previous contract was for. 4 years $16 million when he was 26 years old. He’s almost 30 so his value isn’t going up.

Draft one late

Nick Brossette. 220+ pounds to use inside and/or salt away games, a good compliment to Kamara imo.

That's a big hell no. I'd take him as an udfa (in the hope that he can improve his hands & pass protection), but I wouldn't invest a draft pick in him.

For NFL standards...he has subpar hands, probably subpar pass protection, & he has subpar speed. I agree that he can run between the tackles pretty good, but so can a lot of other backs that won't get drafted or drafted very late.

There's a reason he didn't get any carries when Fournette, Guice & Darrell Williams were there. I think he had a good Senior year, but he isn't in the same league as the 3 other guys.

Even Darrell Williams didn't get drafted, but he made the Chiefs roster as an udfa. Williams has subpar speed like Brossette, but he has legit hands & can pass protect. I actually wanted to draft Williams in the 7th round last year. Brossette would have to develop his game a lot to even make an NFL roster. I'll always appreciate him sticking around until his Senior year & staying loyal to LSU.
