The recent talk in Saints camp was that the team had former Saint Tim Hightower in at minicamp and were to be looking at Jamaal Charles. The name Terrance West didn’t come up until about an hour or two before the team signed him on Wednesday.
After the 2016 Season West had with the Baltimore Ravens, the Saints likely just needed to see if he was healthy. In 2017, West was limited to four starts with a soft-tissue injury that derailed his season.
But in 2016, he posted a solid 1,010 yards from scrimmage with six touchdowns.
