Saints Release RB West
 

The New Orleans Saints have released veteran running back Terrance West after signing him in June as a possible replacement for Mark Ingram during his four-game suspension, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

West, 27, had fallen behind third-year pro Jonathan Williams and rookie Boston Scott in the Saints' backup running back race this summer. Veteran runner/receiver Shane Vereen is also battling for a roster spot in New Orleans.

Scott vs West is no contest. Wish him luck wherever he lands. He is a decent back, but Scott is the future & is more versatile.

Jonathan Williams has also stepped up his game as well in camp & subsequent pre season games.

just showing a vet some respect
no need for a 27 yr old longshot to stand and watch

And we are pretty stacked there, at least he has a chance to go somewhere else.

Edmunds is still around as well. Knows the RB spot. Now has added FB to his resume.

I agree I see a lot of potential in Williams.

West is a good RB but he has always had an aptitude problem. Not going to work in this offense. He'll get snagged up at some point but we are just not that desperate right now. If AP can get plucked I see West hitching a ride somewhere this season.

Saved the plane fare.

This might be a sign that will need to roster Scott; it's starting to seem like he is not going to get through waivers to the practice squad.
