It's March 6th. Here's your NFL news in two minutes. The New Orleans Saints are eyeing Jacksonville Jaguars running back, Travis ETN Jr. as a top-free agent target. The 27-year-old is seeking a deal around $10 million per year. That figure lines up with recent contracts for players like Aaron Jones, with the Minnesota Vikings, and extensions for Kyron Williams and James Cook. Teams have paid similar amounts for proven rushes lately. Meanwhile, ETN brings strong production despite entering free agency. He posted the highest yards per carry last season since his rookie year. Saints fans hope for a successor to Alvin Camara, whose time in New Orleans might be winding down. The backfield lacks fresh legs and big plays right now. ETN has 937 career rushing attempts, plus 177 receptions, showing some wear, but plenty of upside. The Saints would not rule out drafting another runner, even after signing ETN. Their focus stays on building depth.

Officials see him as a reliable wheel to steer the offense forward. Experts believe plenty of gas remains in ETN's tank. He could transform the ground game while the team adds young talent through the draft. Keep an eye on free agency moves this off-season. Dean Inn is brought to you by our sponsor.
