Can't count on a rookie. See James White.I have a feeling ....the draft holds the answer to Vareens replacement....

Bolden is mainly a special teams player. Good tackler and blocked a punt last year.eh...ill disagree much rather have Thomas. Bolden is a mediocre all-around back and is nice to have as depth but certainly not who you want going into the season as the starter.
No one told Vereen that the game wasn't two hand touch.right, and doesn't fall down on first contact like many 3rd down backs do
Been a Saints fan since "The Dome Patrol" back in the 90's. Saints always my 2nd fav team.
Thomas was a HUGE part of the Saints SB run in 2009, very overlooked. He has been lost a bit in recent years with the RB by committee of 10 backs or whatever they play down there last 2 years, its nuts. Not enough work last 2 seasons for me to say 100% he is still good. Solid pro though and very tough.

I remember the year ALL FOUR went to the Pro Bowl. To see the 4 Saints helmets in the game was way cool.Pat Swilling, Ricky Jackson, Sam Mills and Vaughn Johnson...
Arguably the best LB foursome in the last 30 years.
Could be an open door too, where the team says they are interested but want to check out a couple other options too and will be in touch. Perhaps they met with him before Reggie Bush, but ended up not coming to terms with Bush due to money or other reasons, and now could be back in touch with Thomas again, etc.Seems to me that if Thomas was in the house a few days ago and unsigned, the team is not convinced that he is the best option or the $ is an issue.
I think I'd rather have Chris Johnson or Bradshaw.
I honestly don't really know anything about James White, but what reason was there for him to play? Vereen was healthy all season. Now if he had been hurt and we played Bolden instead you'd have a point.Can't count on a rookie. See James White.
There is no way that the New England Patriots sign Chris "Drive By Shooting" Johnson after the Aaron Hernandez fiasco:

Welcome to the forum!
Saints fans have been great here.

Busted up the punter quite badly.
