New Orleans Saints Re-Sign Restricted Free Agent RB Chris Ivory

TheOak · 04-19-2013, 03:13 PM

New Orleans Saints Executive Vice President/General Manager Mickey Loomis announced Friday that restricted free agent running back Chris Ivory has signed his tender offer.

Ivory, 6-0, 222, first joined the Saints as an undrafted free agent out of Tiffin (Ohio) in 2010. He earned a spot out of camp on the team’s 53-man roster and led the team in rushing in 2010, carrying 137 times for 716 yards (5.2 avg.) with five touchdowns and was a consensus NFL all-rookie selection. In three seasons with the Saints, the Longview, Texas native has carried 256 times for 1,307 yards (5.1 avg.) and eight touchdowns. Ivory’s 5.1 yards per carry average ranks third in franchise record books. In 2012, he appeared in six games with two starts and carried 40 times for 217 yards (5.4 avg.) with two touchdowns, including a 56-yard scoring run that was the longest run by a Saint since 2006.

Best thing I've heard since this morning when my wife said she loved me!

Now he can be traded.

From what I've read earlier, he can not be traded now that he's signed his tender.

That was from some respected posters, but they could be wrong. I couldn't verify anything on-line concerning trading players after they've signed their tender.

We had until today to trade him. Once he signed it, he's ours for the year.

I'll dig some more but this one is elusive.

He could be traded anytime. As far as I know.
