A former sixth-round pick by the New Orleans Saints, the Louisianna Tech product made a name for himself with the\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles. Spending six years with the club, the do-everything backup finished his time in the City of Brotherly Love with 1,295 yards and 16 touchdowns on 302 carries. While he never became a regular starter, the veteran demonstrated an ability to do a little bit of everything while being an adequate short-term option.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-10\">\n<div id=\"FreeStarVideoAdContainer\">\n<div id=\"freestar-video-parent\">\n<div id=\"freestar-video-child\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Scott left the Eagles and spent portions of the 2024 offseason with the Los Angeles Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers but suffered a meniscus injury before the season.\u00a0Jordan\u00a0Schultz of\u00a0<em>Fox Sports<\/em>\u00a0reports the running back is fully recovered and has a visit with the New Orleans Saints, but they won\u2019t be the only team interested in the veteran. Historically speaking, running back is one of the most injury-prone positions in sports and contenders can never have too many reliable players at the position. If New Orleans doesn\u2019t sign him, the Baltimore Ravens easily could.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=lastwordonnfl&amp;dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1853475317697884206&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Flastwordonsports.com%2Fnfl%2F2024%2F11%2F05%2Fsaints-ravens-boston-scott-free-agent%2F&amp;sessionId=26585082f4f369b4a2aff96e8a53797fa073cfc8&amp;siteScreenName=lastwordonnfl&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1853475317697884206\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Saints, Ravens Could Sign Free Agent Boston Scott<\/h2>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-24\">\n<div id=\"lwos_incontent_1\" align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x250\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/15184186,22512265771\/lwos_incontent_1_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Even though it\u2019s only Week 10, the 2-7 New Orleans Saints season is already over. While they\u2019re not mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, they\u2019d need a minor miracle after losing seven straight games and\u00a0firing head coach Dennis Allen. At first glance, it doesn\u2019t make much sense for a team like New Orleans to use any resources on a short-term running back like Boston Scott. However, a deeper dive shows that this signing might be necessary.<\/p>\n<div id=\"FreeStarVideoAdContainer\">\n<div id=\"freestar-video-parent\">\n<div id=\"freestar-video-child\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-55\"><\/div>\n<p>One of Dennis Allen\u2019s final acts as head coach was to place the constantly banged-up\u00a0Kendre Miller on the injured reserve. The former third-round pick has struggled to stay on the field throughout his short NFL career, and the TCU product has\u00a0drawn Allen\u2019s ire\u00a0on more than one occasion. With Miller gone and Jamaal Williams battling injuries of his own, the team could have no choice but to sign a veteran like Boston Scott.\u00a0Interim head coach Darren Rizzi\u00a0will want to show what he can do with full control of the team, and signing Scott will help this team compete down the stretch.<\/p>\n<h3>Derrick Henry Insurance<\/h3>\n<p>Derrick Henry refuses to give into age, playing like the NFL\u2019s best running back and already hitting the 1,000-yard mark through just nine games. Boston Scott is not better than him, and in a perfect world, the Ravens won\u2019t need the free agent to do anything for this team. However, despite all the evidence to the contrary, Derrick Henry is mortal and is susceptible to injury. Considering how much the Ravens lean on the rushing attack, this team could use someone like Boston Scott to bolster the depth chart.<\/p>\n<p>At this point in his career, it\u2019s possible that Boston Scott simply doesn\u2019t have anything left in his tank. However, if he just needed meniscus surgery, he could carve out a role on this team. Justice Hill is an unremarkable backup while\u00a02023 undrafted free agent Keaton Mitchell\u00a0is a major unknown coming off of his injury. Maybe he can\u2019t earn a roster spot right away, but Scott could fill a spot on the practice squad and show head coach John Harbaugh that he can still play.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-50\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott reportedly visited the Saints on a free agent visit, but another team could pursue him Free agent running back Boston&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":6554,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BREAKING: Saints, Ravens Possibly Fighting Over Same Free Agent!
