From what I've seen from Ingram, he is the weakest link right now. |

Ivory is very cheap, contract-wise, but I really don't think anyone is going to give up much for him
I'd rather have him than a fifth rounder that would probably cost more anyways |

Exactly. Only reason I could think of is to free up a roster spot, I don't see us needing anyone that bad.

I'm with that. We definitely don't need anyone to fill that roster spot.
The Saints have the most depth at the running back position in the NFL. It allows players to remain healthy. On top of that, it creates a bit of trouble when preparing for a game for opponents since they have to prepare for all the threats. Each play has different strengths and skill set. It works. No reason to fix it at all. Finished 8th in rushing in the NFL this season and we're only getting better. A stronger run game opens up our passing game. Evidence was this past season. |

4 starting RB's is BEYOND a luxury... does another NFL team have even 3? We continue to spend money on offense, and then we cannot stop Hasselback or Smith, or whoever started for the Rams. These guys are being talked about as trade bait because we have needs elsewhere, and money is very tight this year |

They're all very affordable for what they can (and consistently do) bring to the field every single week and, therefore, there isn't much money to be saved on that front. Also I could imagine it being fairly expensive if the Saints had to bring in another good/great RB during the season if they were to run into some injury problems, and had earlier let one of these RBs go. |
