The New Orleans Saints hosted former Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick on a free agent visit on Sunday, but he’s leaving town with a contract in hand. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that the next stop on Riddick’s tour is with the Denver Broncos.
It hasn’t been reported why Riddick didn’t reach an agreement with the Saints. The team is somewhere around $11.7 million beneath the salary cap, so money shouldn’t be much of an issue. It could be that Riddick liked what the Saints had to offer him — including the opportunity to work with his former offensive coordinator, Joe Lombardi — but he wants to see what other offers are on the table before making a decision.
