Yeah. I was coming out to post this yesterday when I saw your post. This is important since it means that the team is comfortable with Olave's health status. Some were writing Olave off completely, albeit with far less insight than the Saints front office, of course.

Let's not forget Brandin Cooks. Also, getting both Olave and Shaheed back seems like adds given how much time they missed last season.

Which reminds me, time to update the depth chart thread.

Here's the latest update.

Amari Cooper is the only name that's young enough with enough talent to give a 2 year deal to.

Keenan Allen and Amari Cooper are both better than the current depth.

+ Coach Moore has experience with both.

I’d have them on speed dial.

iceshack149 05-01-2025 01:15 PM

Re: Saints 2025 Off-Season Roster Moves
 
Allen is a little long in the tooth but a couple of inches taller than what the Saints currently have. I'd be fine with the Saints picking him up.

Can't leave out Tight Ends!

Moore historically utilizes TE's above the league average.

I think we roll with the current crop of WRs. Some of newbies have speed and can also play STs. If we have a sudden injury rash at WR, maybe we bring in a vet. We'll get the height from the TEs. Even the 7th rounder from the west coast will make a spot for himself.

6'2" WR Gabe Davis has been released by the Jaguars.
Quote:

The Jags inked Davis to a three-year deal worth $39 million after four seasons with the Buffalo Bills, where he was known for his big-play potential and postseason heroics. Jacksonville had hoped his addition would stretch the field and open up the offense, but the fit never materialized.

Two big bodied WRs among those there as tryouts. Both with a 4.55 speed however.

Gabe Davis is definitely worth a look. I wouldn't be hype if you're looking for a possession receiver though. He's not that .

Per report from Underhill:

The Saints are signing WR Donovan Peoples-Jones. Previous stops include Detroit & Cleveland.

Possibly a camp body ….

Asante makes sense for several reasons. He has his flaws but we desperately need a #1 CB.

Apparently had recent neck surgery. Won't be ready until July. Not sure if a wise choice at this stage in his career.

Looks like he took over for Brock Purdy.

Hope he's over his gambling issues.

He's a lefty.

Pretty Boy Haener is officially on the bubble.

Thanks for the research, Smashmouth. Dekker's signing is a lot more intriguing to me now.

Iowa state produced two top receivers in this year's class. Dekker was the one throwing the ball to them.

Nah. Dekker was JUCO last year. He won't make this roster.

Prolly won't make it. But he was Brock Purdy's backup, even outshined him in a game or two when the coach put him in. The JUCO stint came after the gambling stuff came to light. I could see him on the practice squad. And when Pretty Boy's Haener's contract is up next year, he can move up to 3rd string. We'll see what happens.

Brock needs a new nickname ... he just got paid ;).

Meanwhile Kenny Pickett, Desmond Ridder, Matt Coral, Sam Powell, Malik Willis are all backups (all same draft class as Purdy) for their respective teams.

The NFL draft for QB's is such a crap shoot. You just never know.

Agreed. The Saints have no experienced QB so let's trade for an injury prone RB that we don't really need? What logic is that.
