Don’t look for free agent running back Edgerrin James to be wearing No. 32 for the Saints anytime soon, if ever. First of all, that number belongs to newly-acquired cornerback Jabari Greer, and secondly, team officials aren’t convinced that James would be a significant upgrade in the group of running backs currently on their roster. That group includes Reggie Bush, Pierre Thomas, Mike Bell, first-year player Lynell Hamilton and undrafted rookie free agent running backs Herb Donaldson and P.J. Hill.
“(James) is someone who we have discussed as an organization, just as we would with anyone of his magnitude who becomes available,” Saints Coach Sean Payton said Wednesday. “Right now, he is someone that we’re taking a look at but there hasn’t really been anything going on outside of that. In other words, it’s not something that is imminent.”
