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.

He can play DL also, in a pinch.

I second this motion. This dude is an offensive guard in the backfield. Maybe he could help open some holes for the Saints tailbacks. The Saints need J.C. Copeland, Odell Beckam Jr, Jarvis Landry and Ego Ferguson.

We used to have a guy like that. His name was Mike Karney and he was replaced because he was too one-dimensional.

Well if Grambeaux could actually block once in a while, maybe his pick up is not needed.

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