Former Vikings running back Latavius Murray, who ran for 578 yards last year, has reportedly agreed to a four year deal with the Saints, likely signaling the end of Black and Gold standout RB Mark Ingram’s tenure in New Orleans.
This leaves Deuce McAllister as the reigning all time rusher, with Ingram just 89 yards behind him.
The Saints are also bringing back backup QB Teddy Bridgewater. At the combine Coach Payton was asked who he would lead the team after Brees retires. He responded “I have my guy, his name is Teddy Bridgewater.”
And despite rapidly shrinking caproom, the saints are set to visit with defensive end Ziggy Ansah.
