The rest of the receivers are unproven.

You wanna throw Winston or Hill out there like that?

Signing Sanders was a waste as Brees was unable to deliver him the ball down the field where Sanders' game is...

Tre'Quan moves like an old man out on the field; it's nice your WR can block, but you need them to get open as well; speaking of...

Contractually, we have no real viable options other than to keep Thomas, who just went catchless in a playoff game - helluva situation...

And if Thomas isn't going anywhere, likely scenario is to guarantee some more of his contract and roll some of his cap money forward to get down under the cap...
