TreQuan is Back!

I think Trequan is more of tight end than receiver. He's the reverse Jimmy G who was more receiver than TE. He isn't costing that much, so I don't see what the big deal is bringing him home.

Good attitude.

I think 3Quan played very well for us down the stretch last season. He made some big catches in some very important games.
But that what he does. He’ll have a good streak of games, then play terrible or disappears.

This is why I'm not excited.

I know he hasn't been a consistent WR, but I have to say when he does catch the ball in open space...he's damn fun to watch. Who knows maybe he finally reaches his potential this year and again he's not that expensive...

RANT ALERT! Saints re-sign WR Tre'Quan Smith - YouTube

Boston Saint · 03-28-2022, 07:01 PM

I’m not excited about it by any means. But they do have 90 players in camp. Like mentioned earlier by Gnome He’s a guy who knows the system. Could be nothing more than a training camp guy to give the QBs a qualified route runner until the season starts; Could end up stepping his game up and being a solid #4 behind Thomas, Callaway, and someone yet on the roster.

I know some people are not happy with this re-signing, but it's not a huge contract, so at least they didn't break the bank on him.

When you have undrafted guys (Callaway & Deonte) outperforming you in production, health, & they “block”, that says something about a player. That $2 million looks like nothing, but it’s something that could’ve went to pay someone else that does more than “block”.

I think people are really missing this (production/lack thereof) for whatever reason.

(Can’t believe I’m defending Smith!). Keep in mind a few things;
He had Brees throwing to him in his weak arm phase
Had camps and preseasons impacted by COVID, hurricanes, QB battles
Had Winston for 6 1/2 games and then a revolving door at QB
Had no strong WR or TE presence to help him a good chunk of the time

All excuses?…maybe so. But they all had an impact on his development. I’ll admit I’m down on him and this signing is not what I was hoping for. But it’s a long way until final cuts and if he’s our 5th receiver on the team then we could do worse.
