Saints RB Travaris Cadet anticipates handling most of the team's return duties with Darren Sproles (fractured hand) out indefinitely.
"Right now, pretty much," Cadet said. "But we may have a little change here and there depending on how the game is going. I'll leave that up to Coach." Cadet is listed as Sproles' direct backup on both kickoff and punt returns. He also operated in Sproles' exact role with the second-team offense in preseason games. Return-yardage and deep leaguers should add Cadet immediately. Fri, Nov 2, 2012 08:09:00 PM

Travaris Cadet - RB - Saints

The Saints are cross-training RB Travaris Cadet at wide receiver.

Cadet is no better than fourth on the running back depth chart, so the Saints are looking for creative ways to get him involved on offense. An estimated 80-percent of his practice reps this week were at receiver. With early-season injuries to Marques Colston (questionable, foot) and Devery Henderson (probable, concussion), Cadet could expand his role as a third-team wideout.

Travaris Cadet - RB - Saints

The Saints have five tailbacks on their 53-man roster right now.

Both undrafted rookie Travaris Cadet and Chris Ivory survived the cut as backups to Pierre Thomas, Mark Ingram and Darren Sproles. Simply put, Cadet was too impressive to let go at 6'1/210 with extremely impressive receiving skills. In five preseason games, he caught 30 passes for 246 yards with two touchdowns. Cadet will be a name to monitor if Sproles gets hurt this season. Ivory may be on the trade block.

Travaris Cadet - RB - Saints

According to the New Orleans Times-Picayune, undrafted rookie RB/WR Travaris Cadet is "making it tougher" for the Saints to cut him.

Seeing time on returns, in the slot and out of the backfield, Cadet played all four quarters of Friday's loss to the Jaguars. Cadet has carried the ball 18 times for 51 yards through New Orleans' first three preseason games, adding 19 catches for 171 yards and two scores. He's averaged 28.3 yards on four kick returns. At the very least, Cadet is putting heat on the less versatile Chris Ivory.

Travaris Cadet - RB - Saints

Saints undrafted rookie RB/WR Travaris Cadet caught eight passes for 80 yards and a touchdown in Sunday night's preseason opener.

Undrafted out of Appalachian State, Cadet ran a 4.67 forty at his Pro Day at 6-foot, 205, so he's about the exact opposite of a workout wonder. He played fast in the Hall of Fame Game, though, and exhibited tackle-breaking ability in addition to some shake and bake in the Darren Sproles "satellite back" role with New Orleans' second-team offense. Cadet, who can also return kickoffs, could end up making Chris Ivory expendable if he keeps this up all August.
