Robert Meachem recovering well from knee surgery
 

On the list of things you want to hear about your new free agent signing at wide receiver, the fact that he had knee surgery a few months ago is pretty low on the list.

That’s just what the Chargers had with Robert Meachem, although it doesn’t seem like the operation should have much impact on his 2012 season. Meachem admitted to having arthroscopic surgery shortly after the end of the Saints’ season — he got hurt in the regular season finale, but played in both playoff games — and told Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune that his recovery has been smooth as could be.

Could this be the reason, the Saints weren't too worried about resigning him?

now, if I were a chargers fan, I'd be slightly pissed. We get Drew Brees & Darren Sproles they get Meachem & his bum leg

Once again, the Saints get over on the Chargers!!

Maybe this is why the Saints let him go. But good luck to him anyway.

I doubt it. 4 years, $26 million is the reason the Saints let him go.

We couldn't afford him.

Yeah. Me too. They get scoped all the time.
