Saints make qualifying offer to Mike Bell (SUPER MERGE!)
 

Just when we all thought they might let him go and see what other running backs could be brought in; the Saints surprised us yet again.

With only a few days left for NFL teams to make offers to their restricted free agents before they are allowed to test the open market, the Saints have tendered an offer to running back Mike Bell.

Bell was offered the lowest compensation for restricted free agents which is one-year at $1.176 million. The Saints will have the right to match any offers made to Bell by other teams, but they would receive no compensation should he sign elsewhere.

Its a smart move by us, If someone wants to scoop him up they can, if not we get him on the cheap.

Re: Saints make qualifying offer to Mike Bell
 

The Saints can line up Thomas, Bush, Bell, or Hamilton as their lead back and be successful. The Broncos did it with their great blocking scheme and the Saints can do it because their runningback is simply not that important to the offense. An average NFL back can get it done in the Saints current offense. Coach Payton now understands how important defense is to a successful team and with the current need at DE, DT, and OLB, they will probably select a guy from one of those positions at #32. But, a RB that is more talented than the Saints current stable will fall to the 32nd pick. It will be interesting.
