Saints bring in RB Devonta Freeman for visit, signed 1 yr deal (1 Viewer)

[Fiyo]

Trying to think of former falcons who have come to the saints and made an impact. Curtis Lofton comes to mind, he was okay

WR Michael Haynes was a pretty good former Falcon who played for the Saints from 1994-96

what I dont get is we need a couple, and Payton says it's a must, and we sign a rb

Good signing if he can stay healthy. That's the key.

 

[Rudy]

You have got to consider that he ran behind a weak offensive line and inconsistent passing attack. The question is what can he do now behind ours.

 

[So_$@int Silly]

Hilarious

Montgomery started out as a WR. Probably better at the slot.

I concur. Seems like Montgomery is working more as a WR lately thus the signing

Freeman won't make the 53.

Okay which one of running backs are hurt?

Sadly, this was my thought. What the heck?!

Ok, sign Kwon already. If our deal is to let him rehab or train with his trainer then we can still sign him and when the preseason games some ease him in. I think he's ready though.

In all honesty I don't really know what's going on between us and Alexander anymore. We're signing all of these other players but we still haven't heard anything about Kwon Alexander except for he came to visit us & thats it. He might get signed by the second preseason game

A guy coming off of an injury (although reportedly ahead of schedule) that doesn’t necessarily need extra reps. If we are going to sign him, it won’t be until later in camp at the earliest, if I had to guess. We will give him as much time as we can possibly afford. That gives him more tine for rehab, and more time for the young guys to maximize reps.

Someone has to play the preseason games. Plus his contract is only guaranteed if he is on the roster for game one.

I guess Sean got tired of Ohio State players

Falclowns’ fans weigh-in.

Many responses are like “meh!”

My guess is that this signing is due to Ty Montgomery focusing on WR. It’s a snowball effect of Thomas being out for a while and Harris potentially facing suspension. He’s likely just another camp body, unless he balks out. Remember, we ALWAYS have extra bodies for camp, as you don’t want to wear your guys out.
