The New Orleans Saints have pulled off two trades in the last week, and now they're going for the hat trick. The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported the Saints are among three teams making calls about running backs.
With roster cuts mere days away, pursuing a trade instead of waiting for cuts to happen shows an aggressive mindset. A trade gives you the obvious control to pick your player, but it also suggests the Saints feel like they need to upgrade at running back, opposed to wanting to improve but accepting what you have.
It's doubtful the trade would resemble the Khalen Saunders trade between two players who may not make the roster.
