The New Orleans Saints gave Travis Etienne $13 million per year this offseason, and he’s already out of the top 10 average salaries at the position before Week 1. Players like Kenneth Walker and De’Von Achane also got paid this offseason, and Etienne made less than them. The don’t pay running backs crowd is taking a big hit this offseason. The Saints are hoping their investment pays off, but the investment itself looks different than it did 4 months ago. Mickey Loomis said the new deal was meant to reflect the running back’s new role.
