The Saints want to give another veteran running back a try.

PFT's Mike Florio reports that the Saints signed Julius Jones, per a league source.

The move indicates a few things. First, perhaps Pierre Thomas isn't a lock to return to the lineup this week. Saints coach Sean Payton also can't be thrilled with his tandem of Ladell Betts and Chris Ivory.

Both Betts and Ivory have put up decent stats, but Betts had a fumble and dropped a pass against the Cardinals that resulted in an interception. Ivory has struggled with fumbles and pass protection.

It's unclear what corresponding roster move the Saints will make with Jones coming aboard.

This move ought to put them over the top.

Look out he's going to talk shit on how he's going to prove us wrong about letting him go. Whatever.

He had his chance to do that last season with the Hawks now he needs to prove the Hawks wrong.

Good luck with that. lol

The Seahawks haven't had a successful run game since Mack Strong retired and that "poison pill" move by Minnesota that lost them Steve Hutchinson. He can prove the Seahawks wrong with a 600 yard season.
