As Profootballtalk.com's Michael David Smith
reminded readers, before Ivory re-signed with the Saints, he visited the Jets and there was talk that the Jets and Saints might work out a deal in which the Saints ship Ivory to the Jets for a late-round draft pick. Smith went on to suggest that is still a possibility. ... In three NFL seasons Ivory has played in 24 games with 10 starts, carrying 256 times for 1,307 yards (a 5.1-yard average) and eight touchdowns. With the Saints he has often been buried on the depth chart in a crowded backfield that also includes Pierre Thomas, Darren Sproles and Mark Ingram. Hard to argue with Smith's contention it might make sense for the Saints to trade him to a team that needs a running back and could give Ivory more than the 40 carries he got last year.
