Saints RB Deuce McAllister Agrees to Deal
The AP reports that “Saints running back Deuce McAllister, coming off the second knee surgery of his career, will remain with New Orleans for at least one more season.” Full article here.
Monster Take: McAllister went down during the third game of the ‘07 season with a left ACL tear after suffering a similar injury to his right knee in ‘05. He returned from the 2005 injury to be productive in 2006 and has shown that he has the toughness to rehab this injury. Terms of the new deal have not been made public, but our guess is that he restructured the $1 million roster bonus he was due April 15th. The Saints likely have little to lose in this deal and McAllister will have tons of incentive to work his way back from this.
