New Orleans Saints considering a change at kickoff returner

Just five games into the season, coach Sean Payton isn't worried the New Orleans Saints rank 30th in kickoff return average.

But, that doesn't mean the team isn't considering putting a different player back to return.

"I don't know that it's a result of Travaris Cadet, but sometimes you get juice from a different player and all of a sudden you get a different type of return," Payton said on a teleconference Thursday morning.

Since taking over kickoff return duties in Week 5, Cadet has averaged just 17.2 yards, but he's return just five, which is actually means he's mostly doing what he's asked.
