Impact Payton said that the recent decision to sign Devonta Freeman started with the decision to switch things up with Montgomery, making it sound as if Montgomery isn't a consideration at running back anymore. Instead, the Saints seem to want the six-year veteran to return to the position he primarily played in college in an attempt to stabilize a wide receiver room that has Michael Thomas (ankle) under wraps and Deonte Harris potentially facing legal fallout from a DUI charge. Without Thomas and Harris, the Saints' top three receivers would be Tre'Quan Smith, Marquez Callaway and Chris Hogan -- and the former running back in Montgomery offers a different skill set than all of them.
