Hey, here’s an interesting proposal: what if the New Orleans Saints traded for Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler? Bleacher Report’s Maurice Moton made the case for such a move as well as the argument against it in light of Ekeler’s trade request, with the Chargers reportedly granting him permission to talk shop with other teams. So what’s the verdict? Is he someone the Saints should check in on?
“Kamara and Ekeler have nearly identical skill sets,” Moton wrote, arguing in favor of a teamup. “With Jamaal Williams in the fold on early-down and goal-line touches and Ekeler featured on passing downs, the Saints offense wouldn’t skip a beat if Kamara has to miss significant time.”
