Former Buccaneers running back signs with division rival Saints

It has seemed like a trend this offseason with players leaving the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for division rivals. In the latest edition of this story, former Buccaneers’ and free agent running back Jacquizz Rodgers has signed with the New Orleans Saints.

The Saints now make Rodgers’ third team he has played for in the NFC South as he played for the Atlanta Falcons before coming to Tampa Bay. After having his best year as a receiver out of the backfield, the Buccaneers opted to let him walk and sign Andre Ellington to fill that role instead.
