Former #Falcons RB Devonta Freeman has reached a 1-year deal with the #Saints, per agent @DrewJRosenhaus. He’s on a visit there now.


I honestly don't understand this move.

No MT for at least a month, pending suspension (2 games min) with Deonte Harris, expect Ty Montgomery to get more reps at WR.

17 game season is brutal in the NFL. No need to beat down Latavius or AK. Freeman could be nothing more than a camp body or he could have something left. Adding another “body” surely won’t hurt at camp.

More importantly there is zero risk involved with his signing.

It only matters that they understand this move. As Major pointed out, you can never have too much depth. I seem to remember a year where we were picking up RB's off the street late in the year.

This. The signing could spare AK a lot of snaps in preseason and maybe even into the regular season. He’s an experienced back who can catch out or the backfield.

I see other areas of need before RB especially with the Saints being over the cap. If Freeman gets vet minimum (with Rosenhaus as his agent?!) then maybe I understand the move a little. But any available money should be addressing the needs in the back seven for the defense.

Devonta Freeman’s salary is only guaranteed “IF” he is on the opening day roster. Let someone else take the abuse in pre season games.

Again, very little financial risk here.
