. I think the saints still preferred a bigger more complete back in Kendre Miller.




Miller is a bigger back but he isn't a more complete back than Spears who can do it all. Maybe Miller can be but he hasn't shown the skills in the passing game that Spears has.

Depends on how you look at it. Spears did it all in college and barely held up. He can’t do it all in the pros. He is undersized and has a degenerating knee issue. You can’t run him between the tackles or continue to give him a heavy workload. And if you do he will be out of the league in 2 years. In the nfl, He is a 5 -8 touch per game receiving back who will get some change of pace Carries.

Seems like some of y'all are going to be really surprised when Kamara is not on this roster in the 24/25 season.

Don't say I didn't give you a heads up.

Spears caught 22 balls to Miller’s 16

You can just watch the tape and see Miller can do both. He’s 215 lb y’all acting like he’s Jerome bettis

I don't think this would surprise anyone. There's a balloon payment on the last year of his deal to force the Saints to cut him after the 24-25 season so he can avoid the franchise tag. If the Saints took an opportunity to trade him a season early to a contender rather than lose him for nothing, no one should be surprised.

The local favorites rarely work out, for some reason.....
He will get a good paycheck for several years....that is the life of running backs.
