but he never really worked out. I had hoped they would use him similar to Tony Galbreath or Dave Meggett, but the Giants didn't do that much with him. And then he started fumbling (which he never did with the Pats) and got hurt (also something that didn't happen).
Payton knows how to use his running backs, he will find a spot for Vereen there.
The Saints have been working out backs closer in style to Ingram because of the suspension but never really pulled the trigger. So, I am surprised to see them go with a back similar to Kamara. I guess they feel they have the between the tackles RBs on the roster already.
Why do some assume he will be on the Saints Roster on Week 1? Â
(but lesser) with Kamara, or maybe insurance while Ingram is suspended.
A friend of mine who is a Pats fan, nailed Vereen when the Giants signed him.
Good hands, good route runner, decent blocker, can run in a pinch, but the next guy he makes miss will be the first guy he makes miss.
You’re friend called it on Vereen. Did he break one tackle the whole time he played here? His feet would start moving 100 mph like a cartoon character but he would just drop before he could get going
RE: Does that increase the possibility of our getting a comp pick? Â

I look for big receiving numbers working with Brees
IF Kamara gets injured because he will almost never see the field imo. He is Kamara insurance.
Not really. Ingram is suspended the first 4 games. Payton likes to move Kamara around...slot, out wide, etc. The idea is to add another receiving weapon and spell Kamara w the carries. It’s the best possible landing spot for Vereen. Will he produce? Who knows but it looks like that’s the plan.

Swing and a miss pal, those are going to Kamara and TEs, Vereen is cooked. This is veteran in camp trying to hang on type of signing.
Actually not

I had totally forgotten about Kamara. Forget the big numbers unless of course Kamara gets hurt
Vereen looked very tentative and fragile last season Â

Yes, unless the Saints re-sign Jonathan Vilma.
he also won't see the field as kamara is their receiving back.

+1 Curious if this offsets the supposed 1 mill we're off from getting a 4th rounder?
Agreed.
Thanks. That's lame.
West is more like kamara too

In 2017 he just looked like he was done...
