Saints Re-Signing WR Brandon Tate

I’m a little confused by this move. I thought everything was going great with Taysom Hill returning kicks.

Hill was returning kickoffs. Kamara has been returning punts. Replace that duty for Kamara? Could also mean that Austin Carr is heading back to the Practice squad soon.

So they're moving Taysom Hill to CB then?

I'd rather see him somewhere on the dline...

Hope not. Get a feeling he's gonna contribute more. His lead blocking on Ginn's 20 yd reverse was text book & the catch he made was a pretty good one.

Just afraid he'd be poached rather quickly. There's a bunch of teams with pretty sorry WR corps out there.

Agreed. I'm thinking Bushrod or someone else gets cut.

I think Payton thinks Hill is to valuable to risk injury. Kamara is a huge risk too but at least he’s done it before. I would rather Tate back than either of them returning kicks .

I'm more confused that our coaches would expose Kamara to gunners and Ted (had a near muff vs Atl) "butter fingers" Jr on punt duty.

Tate was the best returner all of training camp.

I don't think they really wanted to have six roster spots taken up by WR's. Ginn has become somewhat of a liability (punts and drops receiving), but it's hard to imagine him being released.
