3 year deal doesn't usually equate to practice squad

Huh?
He wasn't drafted, Jacksonville signed him after the draft:
Quote:
Banyard (5-11, 213) spent his final two years of college eligibility at Texas-El Paso where he rushed for 1,490 yards with 14 touchdowns. As a senior in 2011, he rushed for 867 yards with six touchdowns on 127 carries to go with 12 receptions for 67 yards. The Sweetwater, Texas native played two seasons at UTEP after transferring from Texas Christian. He was originally signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars following the 2012 NFL Draft.

I think we signed Ivory to a three year contract. He may be getting ready to move on now.

Don't think you can ever have too many RB's, especially given how the Saints like to rotate.

And heck, it's not as if Ivory is our only injury-prone RB. Unless I'm mistaken, Sproles is the only RB on our roster who played all 16 games last season.

Ivory can't stay health to save his life.

I love the guy but just can't keep carrying him. Rather give a roster spot to someone who can stay more health.

This guy reminds me of Joique Bell.

I can't single out Ivory since every RB on our entire roster for the last 10 flippin' years seems to be injury prone.

Well we drafted a RB in the 4th a couple of yeas ago but Thomas beat him out as an UDFA. The best man will play.

Yes.... BUT..... nearly always a 1st down or 2nd and 2.

Signed a 3 year 1.22 Million dollar contract in 2010. In 2013 he is an RFA.

That's a cheap contract, my guess is if Ingram doesnt stay healthy and produce it will be him on the block. With cap being a big focus in the next few years considering Drew/Jimmy.... Cheap players are going to be held on to.

Ingram is due 1m in 2013 and 1.4m in 2014.. Ivory is playing for 400k/year roughly.
