Our offense will not be as balanced as it was last year, but I am not concerned. Brees had 140 fewer attempts last year than '16, his lowest total in 8 years. I'm comfortable with 5 wide sets and him throwing 10 more times a game for the first 4 games.

Short yardage is my only Worry. Line? I also wouldn't be against renting one of the numerous backs available: Murray, Lacy, Charles, Morris

If you sign any veteran prior to week one you have to pay them for the entire year ... even if they are only on the roster for four weeks. That's why I believe Payton when he said that the Saints will not be looking outside for RB coverage during Ingram's "vacation".
