Unless they want to utilize a "RB by committee" approach...
Even then, with a true committee - each back brings something different. I can't pick one thing Darkwa does better than Freeman - which is where Booker is too. The other guys on the roster can each bring something different. Henderson is a compact quick dude like a D. Washington of the Raiders while the rookie Lindsey is less compact like Richard. Both have similar skills to fill the C.O.P. role.
So again, I'd have to say the only way Darkwa fits in Denver is to be the Freeman backup that Booker will be. Now, if Denver picks him up to challenge Booker, I can't say for sure who would win. Booker has more receiving prowess while Darkwa is the better pure rusher.

I also like what Darkwa does in pass protection.

Ingram hit with 4 game suspension. In my view, that puts the Saints squarely in the radar for some of these vet RBs. He's been in Peyton's doghouse multiple different times anyways. Even if its not "needed" this year, good excuse to let him walk next year

Might as well be the last straw for him in the Big Easy.

As an Ingram owner, I'm ashamed that I didn't know about this.

My D1 team just got worse...and that is a task and a half.

Ingram's suspension fall out -

Feeling hard pressed to put anyone not named Bell, Gurley, Zeke ahead of Kamara now that he's got that backfield to himself for the 1st 4 wks


anyone else feeling the love in the Big Easy and giving Kamara the 'Your teammate is an idiot' bump??

I'm holding out on that to see if New Orleans signs somebody else. I really don't think they want him to have more than 15 touches in a game and it's not like Sean Payton ever wants one guy to take the workload anyway.

Since I own Kamara in D1 the news put a smile on my face. He should be top 5 once again.

Oh they’ll sign someone, the Saint have always used multiple RBs, but whoever they sign won’t get anywhere close to the touches Ingram got. Kamara touches are going to sky rocket at least for a few games.

I don't think the Ingram suspension bothers Kamara all that much. #41 will still be the #1 RB on the depth chart in New Orleans.

Had him at the end of the first round on my board, now he's up towards that top 4 or 5 spot
