New Orleans Saints receiver Robert Meachem: 'It feels good to be home'
 
Of course receiver Robert Meachem heard all the criticism in San Diego over the past year while he struggled to live up to lofty expectations with the Chargers. Meachem was hard on himself, too.

But the 28-year-old, who often speaks of his strong faith in God, hasn't given up hope that things can turn back around. And now that he's back with the New Orleans Saints, he's especially optimistic.

"That's life. You hear things. But you take a negative and you turn it into a positive," said Meachem, who signed a one-year deal to return to the Saints on Tuesday. "That's my mission now. To go out there and show the gifts that I was blessed with. Put my head down and just relax and go play football."

The relief in Meachem's voice was evident Tuesday as he returned to the place where he began his NFL career, just days after being released by the Chargers.

"It feels good. I got a job," Meachem said.

But more than that, he added quickly, "It feels good to be home."

I've gotta believe that's EXACTLY how Meachem feels after being birthed into the Sean Payton / Drew Brees family.

Everything he knew of the NFL was through two future hall of famers (and others) that makes most other teams seem like a joke (San Diego included).

After a few hours, I'm glad to see him back. He'll be no worse than he was in NOLA before.

I still think that spot could have been used for a linebacker.

Who were your top three choices? I mean the market's chock full of 30 something, injured LBs.

Oak, those 4 are probably better than what's left out there.

Vilma went to the IR/designated to return... And Chamberlain was cut from IR for not truthfully disclosing his injury :confused:

Chamberlain was already on IR so he doesn't free up a spot

I don't think so. Not with all the trouble Colston is having with his foot, need someone who knows the system and can contribute right away.

That could be a good singing...

a.) Probably got him for dirt cheap.

b.) Payton is back.

c.) He's very much used to this system.

d.) Less pressure. He is not expected to fill Vincent Jackson's shoes.

So there is almost zero risk in this signing and possibly some gain.

I dunno what this means. What does this mean?? He was like the last guy in the world I was expecting we would sign.

What was all that "broken down body" crap that was floating around last month? By all reports he's just as fast as ever and in great shape.

I guess whatever is reported in the sports media, just assume its a lie and move on.

Sort of... "Don't trust, but verify"

We got our deep threat back. Looks like we'll be stretching the field again.
