It's time to start looking at Free agent RBs.

Regardless of how many games AK is suspended in 2023, we still need another workhorse.

2023 NFL RB Free Agents

Not many names worth a chit. The ones that are are too much, IMHO, like Jacobs. Boston Scott is still a role a player. Age is a huge factor.

Rashad Penny? Samaje Perine?

These guys are still effective and could help.

Pass on Scott.

I can't like, I think I'd pay Jacobs. Running Backs aren't that costly. I like Damien Harris as a power back. David Montgomery is interesting. James Robinson. I see plenty of value in free agency at the RB position.

I wouldn't be surprised to see either James Hurst, Granderson or Lutz cut this off-season. If the Saints want to compete on getting DCarr, you're probably going to need 70M+ in the kitty before the start of the league year.

And DCarr is definitely not waiting until early June before signing a new contract.

IMO some of the tough choices should have been made in 2021/22. This "win now " bullshinky nonsense needs to stop. The Saints are years away from truly competing. On the flip side, I understand (win now) because Allen wants to keep his job.

Make it make sense.

I can't make it make sense either. Let me know if you figure it out.

It's only going to take around $12 to $15 million of 2023 cap to bring in Carr. That's including $60 to $70 million signing bonus. We have the means to do it. That doesn't mean we will do it. Personally I hope we do because it may be twenty years until we have a shot at an equivalent QB.

I guess this is finally 3Quans breakout season.

Penny makes for an interesting target. Both parties would have a lot to gain here if we can get him on a cheap 1 year deal. I'd prefer to go this route than spend early draft capital on a running back.
