FunBunch7 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AlBiDusaSt8PYlv2dAOVZyhDubYF?slug=nfp-20100813_saints_trolling_for_a_veteran_running_back It says that the Saints are "Looking" for a RB. We seem to have alot of depth at the position. We obviously need ALOT of help at WR and the Saints seem to have quite a few although outside of Colston none are spectacular. Lance Moore, Robert Meachum and Devery Henderson are a few that would definitely upgrade us, although I believe Meachum and Devery have each had surgery. Thoughts?

santana_4_prez Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 If they wanted one of RBs, they would have signed them when they were free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunBunch7 Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 If they wanted one of RBs, they would have signed them when they were free agents. But they just lost the RB they thought would replace Bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinC Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 If they are going to trade for a RB, which I doubt, I suspect they will want someone under 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd421 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Doubtful at best I don't think we have anything to offer....however I wonder if Westbrooke gets a call from them now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfriedenthal Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I doubt they trade for anyone. They will find a FA, or someone who is cut in a week after the first round of cuts. They never get "The Best" runningbacks, but they are always effective in their scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilburmarshall Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Did they sign Betts? I heard that they brought him in. I really don't think we have enough depth to trade any of the RB's that people would want. I think we need Portis and Johnson...Portis is a concussion away from being out a while, if not for good. Parker and Torain will not get us much...and I feel that Torain's upside is worth more then what we could get for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAfan47 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I thought they were going to pick Ladell Bettis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ænima Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I agree with the sentiment that we don't have much to offer. Plus the Saints recievers look good because they have Brees throwing the ball to them. None of them but Colston are anything special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoRUSupposed2Be Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 ESPN 980 were talking about Betts this morning and said that he was still out of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Larry Johnson could reprise the role that Deuce McCalister held a couple of years ago for the Saints. But at 30 what would the Redskins receive back, at best a #6 or #7 pick? That's of no use to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldfan Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I thought they were going to pick Ladell Bettis?Ladell rejected an offer by the Broncos. He and Justin Fargas worked out for the Saints who signed neither. Fargas took the offer from the Broncos, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's of no use to us. I agree. Even if we did trade them LJ or Parker, I don't see us getting much back. Plus its not like the Saints NEED another RB, they still have Thomas and Bush. So they could wait til after some cuts are made. Plus Brian Westbrook is still out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwack Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Doubtful at best I don't think we have anything to offer....however I wonder if Westbrooke gets a call from them now I don't see Westbrook or Betts as an option for the Saints. The Saints want, don't really need, a goal line back, for some reason Payton doesn't like Pierre Thomas as a goal line back. Betts is the opposite of a goal line back, and Westbrook is a receiving back, and both Bush and Thomas are very solid receiving backs. The only back from our team that makes sense is LJ, but I don't see the Saints trading any of their receivers for LJ. I don't see a 2nd Skins/Saints trade this year.

JetSkins Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Old has beens on a roster doesn't mean you have depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukes and Skins Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Old has beens on a roster doesn't mean you have depth I wouldn't call some of our guys old has beens though. Johnson is someone who was in a bad situation in KC and never had anyone to really guide him, I think with a good veteran presence now he'll be an effective player. Look at his stats once he joined Cincy he did well as the #2 guy. Parker yes I will agree with you on but I don't think we can just say we have old has beens. Maybe you could say that for the DL in some respects but OL is pretty young now, WR is the one you could say is the biggest example of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I sure wish we could pry Devery Henderson from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddub52 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I HIGHLY doubt that team is going to get rid of a receiver for one of our backup running backs. Especially since most of them havent shown any productivity in quite some time. If they want an old RB who has had injury problems they could sign Westbrook instead of trading for one of ours. Since hes a pass catching back I imagine he would fit their system better anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsCrushCowboys Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 not likely they will drop a reciever of his quality.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsTerps26 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 makes more sense for them to go with a trade with the ravens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
