Injured for the last 2 seasons, probably a longshot for our 53.
Saints signed RB Tim Hightower to a reserve/future contract. Hightower, 29 in May, tore his left ACL in 2011 and has been out of the league since. He's had a workout here and there, but an infection in his knee derailed his comeback. Hightower was medically cleared just last spring. He'll spend the offseason with the Saints and try to earn a spot in a backfield that could lose both Mark Ingram (free agent) and Pierre Thomas (potential cap casualty) Tim Hightower - New Orleans Saints - 2015 Player Profile - Rotoworld.com Last edited by Halo; 01-05-2015 at 08:19 AM.. |

Re: Saints Sign RB Tim Hightower
He's only 28, and IF (big IF) he's fully healed he can pound the rock.

Re: Saints Sign RB Tim Hightower
PT will count 2.5 mill vs the cap next year, with 830,000 dead if we cut him. Seems worth the extra 1.7 to keep him around

Re: Saints Sign RB Tim Hightower
I remember when he ripped off that 75 yard run against us in the divisional playoff game against the Cardinals 5 years ago. That's all I know about him though.
