The New Orleans Saints signed running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) to a four-year, $48 million dollar contract this offseason. It seemed that the plan was to have him serve as the team's lead back and handle a large volume while the aging Alvin Kamara (back) handled minimal duties as a backup. Things have turned […]
