4 RBs New Orleans Saints should consider at 2022 NFL trade deadline

Johnson was considered a breakout candidate in Cleveland this year. While the Browns are dealing with the trade request of back Kareem Hunt (another player the Saints could target), that may not get done. The Browns could then turn to shedding another asset for the sake of gathering future capital.

Johnson has not received a single carry thus far this season despite rushing for over 100 yards twice in 2021, reaching 99 rushing yards in another contest. His blend of rushing and receiving capabilities pairs well with New Orleans’ scheme and has been an excellent pass blocker, a quality the Saints love in their backfield.
