Saints hosted free agent FB Erik Lorig

The Saints hosted free agent FB Erik Lorig this week.

The Saints currently have no fullbacks on the roster after declining to tender RFA Jed Collins. Lorig offers more versatility as a receiver than Collins.

I guess we've moved on from Collins.

I really had hoped we were gonna re-sign Jed. Damn.

Lorig is younger with more upside. I like the idea.

Easy to find better for cheaper than Collins...

UDFA J.C. Copeland

He brings pain.

Jed dropped some easy catches in 2013. Sean loves that FB play on 3rd down. (not very successful in 2013)

tendering Collins would have been insane- he would have tripled his salary, and we can't pay $2 mill for a FB

Austin Johnson is on the roster.

He can play DL also, in a pinch.
