Jamaal Charles went to the New Orleans Saints with the hopes of finding meaningful work in 2018. It looks like that search will continue after word leaked that the Saints had decided to go a different direction at running back.
Charles visited with the Saints on Wednesday along with a couple other veteran running backs in Terrance West and Tim Hightower. All three players were hoping to earn a roster spot, and West is the winner in the end. Given the competition already in the backfield and the fact that West is likely only a temporary measure to deal with Mark Ingram’s injury, it’s hard to see the Saints signing more than West.
