@caplannfl: Saints placed RB Chris Ivory on IR. that should mean that Joique Bell makes the Saints roster.

I'm excited for Bell.

Too bad for Ivory but luckily Ingram is more than capable of filling his role. Looks like this will always be the problem with Ivory... he just can't stay healthy.

Thanks for the red BREAKING NEWS thing. I don't know how to do that.

I wonder, why not PUP, which gives us 9 weeks to decide to keep him active or IR him in week 9? What if we lose 3 RB's in the 1st 6 weeks? He could have been insurance.

Shame ..Oh well welcome aboard Bell...Ivory get well dude..we need ya next year..for our 3dat!

I'm not sure it's an option for you guys... which is probably why when biloxi-indian post something, he always uses NEWS. In order for me to get it on the front page, I have to switch it to BREAKING NEWS.

We probably feel real comfortable with what we have. Let's say he comes back and Bell is playing well, who would we cut? I think it's the best for all parties. He earns his salary while getting the whole season and offseason to get his body right.

IIRC, You can place him on IR at that time.

Is there a limit to the amount of players on the PUP? Well nevermind, in the cut list I don't see anyone on it anyways. I see your point... maybe he's hurt more than we realize.

Yup this was an easy decision with Bell's performance. IMO, Bell has looked better than any other RB on the roster at this point. He has a great combination of speed, power, and vision.

Good luck to Chris. I like that bruising style, but it's a hard-sell in the NFL.
