Saints sign RB West, pass on Charles for now

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Everyone passed on Charles. West will just be an adequate replacement for Ingram the 1st 4 games and I would not be surprise to see Ingram traded for some draft picks before the trade deadline....

Highly, highly improbable.

Why is improbable? I'll tell you why it's not. One, he won't be here next year and will be a non factor early on. Second, if the run game is working great without him, why not trade him and start building picks to bundle to get back in the 1st. If a team is willing to over value him for say a second and something else have to entertain it.

I'm not saying we should and hope we don't but to say it's not on the table, bringing in all these RB's....looks somewhat probable.

See previous post by Guido.

For whatever reason, a lot of posters have undervalued MI and his production over the years. Possibly because we traded back in the first to get him? Many here have already joined the lynch mob with Davenport & we haven't even hit training camp yet.

Ingram is a HUGE part of the reason why we won 11 games last season & what we are trying to accomplish this year. If you want to compete with the heavy weights in January (Philly, MN, GB, Rams) 2019, the Saints need MI. Anyone who thinks we can win with AK & a bunch of unknown, unproven backs ... your being short sighted.

Win now mode. Repeat, win now. Next season, totally different conversation as it relates to Mark.

What team would want to trade a 2nd round pick for a RB in the final year of his contract who isnt available for the first 4 games? They'd only be guaranteed this season before he was a FA again. Theres no guarantee he'd re-sign with them.
