Yesterday it was the sad news about the Saints trading away Reggie Bush. Today we find better news. The New Orleans Saints have found his replacement in former San Diego Charger running back/returner Darren Sproles.

The 5'6" Sproles spent his first 6 NFL seasons with the Chargers playing his rookie season in 2005 with Drew Brees. Sproles will most likely fill in the role of third-down back and kick-off and punt returner. In his career he has two punt return and two kick-off return touchdowns.

The deal is reportedly for 4 years and $14 million.
