I would like to have added a 4th candidate but Josh Gordon has just signed with the Chiefs. Gordon might have been worth a roll of the dice and I am guessing it would have been at minimal $.

I would welcome John 'Smokey' Brown and Okung(for depth if he still has anything left in the tank?) and Trey Burton(same, depth @the TE spot) into the fold in a heart beat!

Just plug Taysom in. We'll be fine.

K Major · 09-29-2021, 09:33 AM

Route runners & pass catches are always welcomed.

Pass on Okung, stays hurt.

Trey Buton ome on down! Welcome to N.O. Fingers crossed.

I'm going to be a bit contrarian here and say Lamar Miller. I feel like we need another good RB to help preserve Kamara and Jones. Maybe Miller has had enough to time to heal from the knee injury that derailed his career. He's not as old as Gore or Peterson and could have something left in the tank.

Whose spot would he take? Can he play special teams? Those are the two primary questions that need answered for any potential additions.

With 3 guys coming off IR this week, who would you demote or cut?

Omit Lutz, early reports is that he's not quite ready just yet.

I’ve talked to some people about that too. I do feel we need a power runner like a Ingram, not him but that style of runner. Those guys wear down defenses
