And AA is on IR. Welcome back Greg Camarillo.

With some urging from quarterback Drew Brees, the New Orleans Saints signed veteran receiver Greg Camarillo back in the preseason.

Camarillo didn’t make the opening-day roster, but he now is back with the Saints. Larry Holder reports the Saints re-signed Camarillo on Wednesday.

That’s not surprising because the Saints are dealing with a couple of injuries at wide receiver. Starter Devery Henderson suffered a head injury in the season opener and Adrian Arrington, who recently was re-signed, is dealing with a knee issue.

Camarillo worked out with Brees in the offseason as the quarterback was waiting for his new contract. The chemistry between the two was obvious during the preseason, so it shouldn’t be a major problem if the Saints have to use Camarillo as the No. 3 receiver behind Marques Colston and Lance Moore.

Linebacker Barrett Ruud also has been added to the roster. Ruud was on the commissioner’s exempt list for Week 1. If Ruud stays on the roster until Sunday, he’ll get a nice payday. Ruud’s contract calls for him to collect a $65,000 bonus if he’s on the 53-man roster for one game.

It's your time to shine Greg Camarillo.

Re: The reason the Saints brought back Greg Camarillo
 

Because Brees had that "Oh shiit" moment when Henderson went down because he sure as hell can't trust AA or Morgan to catch anything.

Re: The reason the Saints brought back Greg Camarillo
 

I thought Camarillo was a slot receiver like Moore.

Re: The reason the Saints brought back Greg Camarillo
 

So who is getting cut? 5th RB?

Wait... we started with 50 right?

Re: The reason the Saints brought back Greg Camarillo
 

How can you say that? Morgan had two passes his way... Colston dropped a pass or two does that mean that Brees can't trust him to catch anything? :rolleyes:

Re: The reason the Saints brought back Greg Camarillo
 

I have always liked Andy Tanner from the first time he layed hands on the ball.
I kinda hoped he would make the squad this year with AA yet again unavailable.
I think he's still on the PSquad and can fill in as a posession guy if we need him.
I also believe he could do even more if given the chance.

Re: The reason the Saints brought back Greg Camarillo
 

Colston has proven he can catch balls in the regular season with consistency and his performance last week was a fluke. He and Colston have had years of chemistry and Brees knows he can trust him. Morgan has barely played in the regular season. Morgan hasn't proved anything in the regular season. So no there is no way in hell you can say Brees can't trust Colston because of two drops, but you can about Morgan.

Next man up!!! Now catch the damn ball.

Re: The reason the Saints brought back Greg Camarillo
 

I really think Camarillo might surprise. Obviously Drew is high on him and he stepped right in late in preseason and looked very good to me. Would be nice to see someone come on like that and tear **** up.

Re: The reason the Saints brought back Greg Camarillo
 

We had another cast off with great hands that ended up working out for us pretty well, and has some cool TD dances!

Come to think of it we had another cast off that studded out for us, and had some controversial TD celebrations involving a cell phone.

Re: The reason the Saints brought back Greg Camarillo
 

Indeed we did!!! Too early to get excited?!?!

Re: The reason the Saints brought back Greg Camarillo
 

Absolutely too early. For every cast off that works out for us there are 10 others that don't.

Re: The reason the Saints brought back Greg Camarillo
 

Yea we are due though. Im gonna go and drop Calvin and Andre Johnson for him on my fantasy team.

Re: The reason the Saints brought back Greg Camarillo
 

Smart move! What league are you in?

Re: The reason the Saints brought back Greg Camarillo
 

A pay league! Winner takes 10k!

Re: The reason the Saints brought back Greg Camarillo
 

Heard this guy made some pretty clutch plays with the Phins and the 'queens

I definitely wouldn't mind TWO Lance Moore's running around the field either, dude has velcro-gecko hands

Re: The reason the Saints brought back Greg Camarillo
 

Thats what Im hoping. How old is this cat?

Re: The reason the Saints brought back Greg Camarillo
 

I was surprised when they cut him. He's a veteran, still young and has great hands and decent speed. Just what the doctor ordered. I guess they didn't want to guarantee his salary for the year.

Re: The reason the Saints brought back Greg Camarillo
 

I guess they didn't want to guarantee his salary for the year. I bet that was why.

Re: The reason the Saints brought back Greg Camarillo
 

Because Colston has proven in the past that he can catch the ball consistently for years . Morgan and Brees do not have the history that he and Colston do in real regular season games.

Re: The reason the Saints brought back Greg Camarillo
 

I wear a Brees jersey, the wife wears a Colston jersey.

Hearing "Brees to Colston" during the game means I have to get the beers :(

Re: The reason the Saints brought back Greg Camarillo
 

We know Morgan can keep his eye on the ball, just has to have his hands catch up.
