We are number 10 on the waiver wire. Some Talent could slip through to us if we get lucky. Of course, we haven't been lucky in quite some time.

I can't imagine much talent is going to reach the waiver wire, Rugs. Only players with less than four years in the league are eligible for waivers. That means players that basically couldn't make the cut. Those waiver qualifiers would not likely be being released for cap cutting reasons. If they were it would mean they simply weren't good enough to make it. Anyone with four or more years that gets released is not subject to waivers and are immediately free agents. Among those are the ones that would have the talent, I would suspect.

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.

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.
