Will the Saints keep 5 RB's on active roster?

Just don't see cadet making the roster

most of us still cant believe they brought cadet back to begin with, he never has been worth a shite as a RB so he was a blocker and half decent receiver who rarely made any yardage after the catch. maybe its just my imagination, but it always seems like he lost yards when they threw it to him, at least in short yardage situations.

hard to imagine there isn't a better option out there to replace cadet on the roster

Lasso gets a spot before Cadet.

Ya. I fricked it up. Doesn't make sense how I wrote it. Lasco supposed to be in Cadet's spot on list. Editing.

Kamara better be or we screwed up again.

Good question OP.

Here's my take on it per player:

AD: Roster lock. $3.5m guaranteed, he'd have to show he's fallen off the cliff to be cut.
Ingram: Roster lock. As much angst he receives, he's an above average NFL RB with both rush and some rec prowess.
Kamara: Roster lock. You don't rate a guy this high to add a new draft pick and cut him.
Lasco: Likely on roster unless someone else really emerges to impress.

Out:
Cadet: Lesser talent, role is surpassed by others.
Murphy: Anything he does is done better by other players and he's not a RB.

I look back at some of the best CSP teams (2006, 2009) where Saints made NFCCG and won Super Bowl.

In 2006:
Deuce had 244-1057-10 and 30-196-0 line
Reggie had 155-565-6 and 88-742-2 line

In 2009:
Bell had 172-654-5 and 4-12-0
PT had 147-793-6 and 39-302-2
Reggie had 70-390-5 and 47-335-3

In 2011 (Sproles):
Ingram had 122-474-5 and 11-46-0
PT had 110-562-5 and 50-425-1
Sproles had 87-603-2 and 86-710-7

In 2016:
Ingram had 205-1043-6 and 46-310-4
Hightower had 133-548-4 and 22-200-1

In 2017 I think the thought and breakdown is this:

AD: Bell in 2009, a few more recs (15-20) and 140-160 carries.
Ingram: PT in 2009, 150-175 carries, 40 recs.
Kamara: Bush/Sproles role with less max recs, 50-70 carries, 55-70 recs.

Basically you get your thumper, hybrid and joker and it sets up nicely. I only wish TE position was more of a known. Would love that high baller go up and grab it in EZ to pair with MT and the underneath game.

Yikes, ok.

I'd explain why this doesn't equate, but won't.

We are keeping Cadet to retrieve CSP's vicodin and "juicy fruit" during games. Payton really likes him and the only logical explanation for Cadet playing for the Saints so many years is that Cadet is Sean's dealer.

Like most have said I can't believe Cadet will be more valuable than another roster spot.

Peterson replaces Hightower
Kamara replaces Cadet
Ingram stays
Lasco stays

Ginn Jr. and Kamara do what Murphy does better than Murphy. Murphy goes.
