Free Agency is About to Start

SonOfNOLA said

Saints probably wouldn’t be big players for the Henry, Jacobs, Pollard, Barkley and Ekeler group even if Williams’ salary wasn’t guaranteed. RB market isn’t high pay anymore. But I don’t see any of those guys signing for Williams’ salary range either. Spending money on a popular FA RB probably isn’t an option this offseason after investing into Miller and Williams.

I'd rather look for a RB in the 5th or 6th than spend money on one in free agency. I get what they were trying to do with Williams last year, but it seemed an odd fit when they usually use Taysom Hill on short yardage and near the goal line, but relatively expensive RB depth in free agency never seems to be a good idea when there are so many RBs available late in the draft and UDFA. There might still be some value especially in guys that are more third down and specials teams types this year in the draft. And with RBs, guys often break out that played on bad teams or on teams with RB by committee or deep depth charts like Kamara was.
