Kamara Punt Returner
 
Payton hints at it in this article:

New Orleans Saints? Alvin Kamara expected to play Sproles' role - UPI.com

Basically filling the roll of Bush, Sproles, CJ Spiller as assumed.

Excellent article. Take the time to read it.

So Payton privately worked him out; that should all make us feel better about the 2nd round pick handed over.

In SP I must believe.

He was valued as a second rounder by many. The only problem was we didn't have a 2017 pick to grab him with. Why not use the 2018 2nd rounder instead, especially since it's going to be #64.

Price point. Sure Pats will be in the same boat without Blount as we were with Sproles. He punched in a lot ot TD's for them. Probably could do it again no problem but he's aging. Time to move on.

He is our new X factor and punt returner. Kamara is a sweet looking addition to the team.

Every team needs this type of player but they are hard to find. Smart GP RB. We got snake eyes on Murphy and Spiller.

Why don't you give us a synopsis. You're just going to regurgitate it as your own no less than 20 times in the future

What I regurgitate are parts and parcels of dozens of articles I read every day, along with information from several other sources. It is called knowledge and sometimes requires a modicum of effort to obtain. If some around here would take the time they might learn something.

we were in a bad, bad way when we cut Sproles
$5 million for a 3rd down back was about 3 times what we could afford in 2015

Yep. I cringed when we had to drop Mighty Mouse. I also cringed when he dropped the ball in the NFC Championship game but that was one of the only times.

They have Cooks now to go with Gronkowski and Edelman. Oh, and Bennett.

Hey, I get the numbers, I really do. but consider this...

Last season with Sproles was 2013, we went 11-5

Since, without Sproles, 7-9, 7-9, 7-9...

Casts a different shade on that 5 million dollar proven 3rd down back and punt returner when you look at the difference in our record...

We just spent a lot of draft capital on this Volunteer, he better be the goods because we haven't been the same since we jettisoned Sproles...
