The New Orleans Saints signed Devonta Freeman on a Saturday and it’s a move that at first makes one think “Why?” On second thought, however, it was a nice signing by the Saints.

Sure, the Saints are set at the RB1 and even RB2 spot. Alvin Kamara isn’t going anywhere and Latavius Murray has proven himself to be a decent second-string running back. These two are still the Saints’ top two options even with Freeman on the roster.

The addition of Freeman gives the Saints another option as to who will be the third-string running back in 2021.
