Looked over the stats (collectively) last night after your post. Oh boy, you're right ... upgrades are needed and necessary.

Nick Vannett was a big-time disappointment for me ... for starters, he was injured half of the season .

Outside of AK/Hill, not a lot of "firepower" offensively.

Trautman really started showing promise in week 7 last year with 26 targets over the four game stretch. Then he went down with the injury.

It was clear from day one. Sean tried to sell us on the WR room AND the TE room, but he's not dumb. He knew the offense was wrecked - knew it so much he bailed on his contract rather than stick around to rebuild it.

Playmakers are the name of the game - the one we had a WR was injured. Fishboy ain't the answer at TE either. Isn't Vannett the one known for his blocking? If so he can stay I guess, but I'd clean out the room and repaint it and disinfect it and bring in some new people.

Hush little man - can you not read? Saintfan?

Shoo fly little racist, and take fishboy with you. You bother me...

All teams have injuries AG & Trautman wasn't setting the world on fire at TE when he was healthy.

A decent player but he needs to sit and learn. Last year he was way over his head. Too much "thinking" out there. Small school project & the game hasn't slowed down for him just yet.

Saints need to add another TE to the mix in 2022.

I noticed something about him. He falls all wrong. Big guys at that position have to know how to fall. Just like riding a bike or a motorcycle you better learn how to wipe out properly or you're going to get hurt when you might otherwise be able to survive the wreck.

Fishboy has no grace about him. All the talent in the word but I swear he's going to be one of those dudes who's always in the tent. He will tease and fool the fanboys, but that's all he'll ever do.

Of course all teams have injuries. What I was pointing out is that it really appeared the game HAD slowed down for him. He was becoming more effective at getting free starting in week 7 through week 10 when he was injured. Of course we need more help at TE, but Trautman isn't ready to be tossed to the trash heap yet, right?
