New Orleans Saints Forums - blackandgold.com - 2022 NFL Free Agency: New Orleans Saints

I have to admit he's not on my radar, as the years go by I get less interested in non Saints football. I pulled up his 2021 highlights and on just about every one of them he wasn't even touched until he got at the very least the 2nd level which made me wonder. I'm not above kicking tires.

Howard has been very effective; he's got to work on his passing game (e.g. pass protection, receiving damage out of the backfield); but as a RB, he's got near elite talent...

Nagy was an idiot in Chicago, Bears Defense and Running Game would get them up by 14+, and then Nagy would go with Tarik Cohen and 3 and out offense second half...

Howard just has to be shown that if he puts in the work, he'd be a great complementary if not 1-2 combination, and the Saints locker room may just be what Doc ordered...

Jordan Howard is the only FA RB that makes any sense at this point...

True, but is it a case of attitude or lacking skills...

Ingram couldn't either early on, coach him up!

No need to sign one unless, or until, you need one. It's appearing that Kamara will not be facing suspension at the beginning of the season, if at all this season. Signing a veteran now would guarantee their salary for the entire season, if they were on the roster beginning the season. Signing one after week one allows the Saints to only commit week to week cap hits.
