Three FAs That Could Help The Saints Right Now ?

I'm going to be a bit contrarian here and say Lamar Miller. I feel like we need another good RB to help preserve Kamara and Jones. Maybe Miller has had enough to time to heal from the knee injury that derailed his career. He's not as old as Gore or Peterson and could have something left in the tank.

Whose spot would he take? Can he play special teams? Those are the two primary questions that need answered for any potential additions.

With 3 guys coming off IR this week, who would you demote or cut?

Omit Lutz, early reports is that he's not quite ready just yet.

With Smith coming back I suspect Hogan gets demoted. Crawley could cost Heath or Trufant.

I might be in the minority here but I’d keep Trufant before I keep Crawley

Crawley was looking very good before the injury. Someone has to go. That's why I mentioned Heath. We've got decent depth at safety and it seems like CB's get nicked up more often.

Yea, a lot is asked of them. But game day Crawley can be hit or miss that’s my knock on him. I’d let Heath go. Trufant showed he can still play fairly decently and has graded decent with pff, though that isn’t scripture

That is the tough part, could be hard to make room. Perhaps Montgomery can/will get a few carries once the WR position gets health, offsetting some of my concern about long-term RB depth.

I’ve talked to some people about that too. I do feel we need a power runner like a Ingram, not him but that style of runner. Those guys wear down defenses
