Saints hosted RB Kareem Hunt and LB Anthony Barr (Upd: Hunt leaves Colts/Vikings visits w/ no deal; Giants cancel Barr visit) (2 Viewers)

My prediction is that neither makes a significant impact and the rooks at those positions end up playing more often than they do.

I can see why you would say that, as they were still available and we are heading into week one of the preseason action.

Man, something's clearly changed between last season and now. What? I don't know exactly. But this team/staff, just based on this offseason so far, just feels a lot more direct. . .aggressive, maybe? Words are failing me here lol.

Hopefully it translates to the field.

I don't know. I feel like they tried to make a splash last year bringing in Honeybadger and Jarvis Landry which we were all excited about as well.

Need to sign SonofNola to a lifetime contract for all these breaking news.

 

[limeyjohn]

Man, we will be cutting some pretty good players when all is said and done, a good problem to have thought

Feels pretty CJ-Spillerish to me.

 

[Optimistic Ozzy]

Bam !!!!!!!

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

It's a good time to buy low on running backs.

.
No clue how these signings will turn out but I know they both moved the needle. A lot.

My prediction is we wear defenses down all game with consistent fresh legs at RB and carr shreds defenses in the play action. We had 4 RBs in 2011 and rushed for over 2k while neither of them had over 1000 yards lol. Pick your poison

My prediction is that the addition of Hunt allows the Saints to play Alvin Kamara all over the formation (ie. Slot WR and split out wide at WR) while still having a dangerous RB in the backfield.

Feels pretty CJ-Spillerish to me.

What does this even mean? Did we sign him to a big 4 year deal to be a big part of the offense or something?

We signing him for probably a little over the minimum on a one year contract to add to our depth and be insurance if Miller isn't ready to play a big role at the start of the season. Some of these takes are wild.

 

[Judge_Smails]

Good signings. Based on previous accolades, this is probably the deepest RB room we’ve had.

 

[Clintonrebel]

This may end up like the 2017 Adrian Peterson signing. Sounded great when we didn't know who Kamara was or what he could do.

I mean cook is still available too. Can’t say he won’t make a splash wherever he lands just because he’s not signed yet.

 

[DoubleSaint]

Im not sure how I feel about the Hunt signing.

1) he’s washed
2) Beating women is not ok.

 

[DeuceMcAllisterFan]

Love Cook but he'd probably sit out the year over signing close to the minimum for a season. I have to imagine he's holding out for a multiyear contract right now.

He’s about to leveon bell himself. He’s not young for a RB and has had injuries himself. Dangerous game he’s playing with the current state of the RB market.
