Re: Should David Patten get re-signed in the offseason?
With Branch, Burleson, and Engram on board in Seattle, I can see Hackett possibly leaving for greener pastures. Other names that jump out at me are Berrian (though he's said he wants to stay in Chicago) and Patrick Crayton. I would not be surprised if Payton/Loomis made a strong play for Crayton.

Re: Should David Patten get re-signed in the offseason?
i watched crayton on sunday...and don't get me wrong he HAS looked great...but he didn't look like he was trying at all. no passion, no WANT for the ball. did anyone else notice this? i was a huge proponent of his earlier...but i dunno now. thoughts?

Resign Patton and install him as the #2 receiver. 3. Get Meachum ready to play. In other words, I wouldn't spend a lick of time on the receiver position this offseason. Now if another gem like Colston is lingering around in the later rounds of the draft, then maybe I spend a pick. Maybe. But free agents? Not unless they want to come play for the minimum. I just can't see justifying paying any more money for receivers right now. That's my nickel (inflation ya know?) to the convo. SFIAH |

You can't win in the NFL today if you can't count on your wide receivers to catch a football. The Saints, IMO, have been more than patient enough with Henderson to develop into what he was expected to be, and he just hasn't reached that level. Time to cut our losses and move on.
That being said, I still think our WR corps is a little weak after Colston, and nobody on the FA market stands out to me. Moss is going to go somewhere for HUGE money, and I don't think Patrick Crayton's all that good. Patten (assuming he learns how to hold onto the ball) and Copper are GREAT third options (and Lance Moore is a very solid #4 guy), but we really seem to be missing that #2 option. In all honesty, I'm surprised that Meachem didn't even get a chance to play this season. It's not like any one of our receivers have been playing so lights out that Payton shouldn't want to let the rook start in front of them. The guy is obviously a very talented WR, and I'd like to see him get his shot to be the guy opposite Colston next year. |
