The New Orleans Saints and Dwayne Washington agreed to a one-year deal to bring the veteran running back and core special-teamer back into the fold.
Washington, who turns 28 years old next week, has been with the Saints for the last four seasons, serving mostly in a special teams role.
He’s appeared in 54 games with the Saints, accumulating 245 rushing yards on 47 carries in that span. The bulk of that production came in 2018, when he recorded a 108-yard day in a Week 17 loss to the Carolina Panthers when the Saints were resting their starters for a playoff push.
The majority of Washington’s on-field work has come on special teams, where he has been a key member of coordinator Darren Rizzi’s unit. Washington has played at least 64 % of the Saints special teams snaps in each of the last three years, and last season recorded a career-high seven tackles.
The Saints now have five running backs under contract for the 2022 season, with Washington joining Alvin Kamara, Mark Ingram, Tony Jones and Josh Adams.

He'll probably make the roster again...especially if Kamara isn't on the final 53 for week 1.
He's nothing special as a RB, but he does run very hard...basically a battering ram. His vision could be better & his hands are pretty bad though.
He's a damn good special teams player, which is why he keeps making the team. That being said...it's not a good thing if he's getting any carries that aren't in garbage time.

Low key very solid move. Washington is damn good on ST and he can hold his own when he’s pressed into getting some run on offense.

Man the saints just keep winning this off-season. Locking down studs left and right.
