New Orleans Saints announce signing of three free agent WRs; release DT Leisle | - NOLA.com

WTF .... are we trading one of our wr's?

Re: We're evidently thin at WR ... More WR signings and DT Leisle waived!
 

sweet.....just what we need.....another player with a suggestive name

Re: We're evidently thin at WR ... More WR signings and DT Leisle waived!
 

I gave my theory about the Saints secretly scheming to trade away Lance Moore already on the last thread here about the Roy Hall signing...

This signing of 2 more WR's to the roster makes it look all the more possible now, doesn't it? I'm just saying...

Re: We're evidently thin at WR ... More WR signings and DT Leisle waived!
 

Any better info on either of these new guys?

Larry Beavers runs a 4.28 40 yard dash...

Today - 7:45 PM ET

Saints signed WR Larry Beavers.

Beavers (5'10/186) was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Panthers last year after running a 4.37 forty at Delaware. While former Blue Hen does possess intriguing kick-return skills, he won't make a crowded roster in New Orleans.

Tanner invited to Saints rookie camp

By J. Scott Russell
Posted April 26, 2010 at 12:20 a.m.

Although he hasn’t been signed yet, one of Midwestern State’s all-time best receivers will get a chance with the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints.

Wide receiver Andy Tanner, who holds or shares six MSU receiving marks after his tremendous 2009 senior season, has been invited by the Saints to their rookie camp scheduled to begin on May 7.

“It’s actually more like a tryout camp, and if I do good they’ll sign me,” the 5-11, 185-pounder said. “That’s all I can ask for is to get a shot.

“They can see me run their plays and schemes, and it will give them a better opportunity to see how I’ll do.”

According to James Varney of The Times-Picayune in New Orleans, Saints coach Sean Payton said when the NFL draft concluded Saturday evening that the team would bring in somewhere between 12 and 15 undrafted free agents. Those who do not have conflicts with the end of school should participate in the Saints rookie camp on May 7.

Tanner got his call from the Saints late Saturday night.

That's all I can find on the two newest signees at WR...

Re: We're evidently thin at WR ... More WR signings and DT Leisle waived!
 

I can hear it now:

"A nice block thrown by Bushrod to spring Bush into the opening. Looked like he was going to be brought down around midfield, but then Bush lateraled to Beavers. You know when Beavers controls the ball it's going to be a score!"

i think the saints are just matching the overcrowded q.b.s with w.r.s. canfields arm will be throwing bombs all day.

Re: We're evidently thin at WR ... More WR signings and DT Leisle waived!
 

Saints are a passing team, they need to always load up with WR prospects. Who knows when one of the great receivers the Saints have will go down with an injury or something. Need to have someone ready just in case.

New Orleans Saints release defensive tackle Rodney Leisle, sign three receivers

The New Orleans Saints announced late Thursday they released defensive tackle Rodney Leisle and added wide receivers Larry Beavers and Andy Tanner, in addition to the previously reported signing of wide receiver Roy Hall.

Leisle, 29, was a fifth-round pick by the Saints in 2004, who played in 18 games. Last year, Leisle appeared in one game before being placed on injured reserve with a knee injury..

Beavers, 5 feet 10, 186 pounds, first arrived in the NFL via Division III school Wesley College as an undrafted free agent with Carolina in 2009. He holds the NCAA record with 13 kick returns for touchdowns (10 on kickoffs; 3 on punts). In the 2009 preseason he caught two passes for the Panthers for 31 yards, averaged 2.8 yards on four punt returns and had one kickoff return for 24 yards before being waived.

"Coach dont be so hard on the beaver"

Re: We're evidently thin at WR ... More WR signings and DT Leisle waived!
 

First off, eeeewwww beaver.... Second off, these are all camp bodies. Most of them won't see the field, except for in preseason. We still got a ways to go, before TC. It's all good. Trust in the Payton!

Re: We're evidently thin at WR ... More WR signings and DT Leisle waived!
 

I love our WR core, but it is somewhat overcrowded with talent that could be utilized on different parts of the team. I think Lance Moore has good trade value, and I wouldn't be surprised if we pulled the trigger. It is sort of stupid to have so many talented WRs when only a certain number can be on the field at the same time, especially when we have a defense that could use a few key players.

Re: We're evidently thin at WR ... More WR signings and DT Leisle waived!
 

Gentlemen if u dont know, Larry Beavers is a DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURTTTTY returnman its not even fair

all i can say is Look at my avatar and make it rain rep

Guess Roby is on the bubble now?!

Re: We're evidently thin at WR ... More WR signings and DT Leisle waived!
 

without reading... it sounds like we're expanding what we don't need and thinning out one of our positions with the most needs

Re: We're evidently thin at WR ... More WR signings and DT Leisle waived!
 

Beavers has some sweet moves. If he performs well in TC he could put a lot of pressure on Roby. I wonder..........?

Re: We're evidently thin at WR ... More WR signings and DT Leisle waived!
 

he's a cross between dion sander's, reggie bush josh cribbs and himself.
excelerative speed is whats it called. hard to defend. he'll be there till the last cuts. then there are no promises for him. they may still take roby even if he has a spectaculer camp, practice squad posibility. looking at the attendence in some of the games its not much of a football leaque.

Re: We're evidently thin at WR ... More WR signings and DT Leisle waived!
 

The guy is a burner. That's for sure.

Re: We're evidently thin at WR ... More WR signings and DT Leisle waived!
 

Almost as fast as you making a beer run! :beer: :mrgreen:

Re: We're evidently thin at WR ... More WR signings and DT Leisle waived!
 

As long as they help us win another superbowl, I could care less how many WR's we have.

Re: New Orleans Saints release defensive tackle Rodney Leisle, sign three receivers
 

If you play in one game & then or on the IR list - Do you still get a SB ring??

Re: New Orleans Saints release defensive tackle Rodney Leisle, sign three receivers
 

I don't know if he got a ring but I do remember seeing him on the sideline during the SB.

Re: We're evidently thin at WR ... More WR signings and DT Leisle waived!
 

Alllllllllllllllmost. :D

Re: We're evidently thin at WR ... More WR signings and DT Leisle waived!
 

Speaking of beer run's, what ever happened to "the beer man"? I don't think he's playing anymore, but always wondered what he's doing now...

Re: We're evidently thin at WR ... More WR signings and DT Leisle waived!
 

I once knew a girl with the last name of Beavers. She was the girlfriend of the coach's son...who was our shortstop in Dixie Sr. League baseball. Seems she had been "eyeballing" me while going to the games to watch her supposed boyfriend. Man...that girl brings back memories.

I remember she had a problem saying some words...kinda like a kink in her brain. I had to teach her how to say, "mayonaise". "Say man...then A's...man...A's."

I remember one day way back in 1970 or so, a couple of friends of mine and me were over at my house shortly after one of the Saints' games one
Sunday afternoon talking to my Dad about the game. This chick calls me and I can tell she's stinking drunk. She wants me to come pick her up. I was with my friend, and if any of you have read most of my stories you would realize that I have written stories with this dude in them before...but anyway...he's got this little yellow VW beetle and he and the other guy pile into the front seat and I get into the back and we go and pick-up Miss Beavers. Like I said before...she was three sheets to the wind. The thing that was so funny...and I'll leave the ending for another day...was that she came to the door and had 19 golf balls that she was trying to keep in her hands. Obviously, with 19 she was having a little problems. I'm telling you...the girl was a little nuts but was a great time.

The last story regarding her was the time we went out on a date after having been mad at each other for an extended period of time. We were having a great time that night. We went out to one of her friends' house after seeing her and her boyfriend in a club, and we had a couple of drinks among other things.

We went down to one of the local bridges after that and parked underneath. It was around 1 am when I parked, and me and Miss Beavers got into the back seat. The next thing I remember was waking up around 3 am and wondering what in the hell happened. She had passed out also, and to this day I don't know what happened, but I suspect someone put something in our drink. I never found out.

I understand on the competition aspect, But i watch film on the player to see what they play like stats can be inflated but the film doesnt lie. I haven't seen or searched his "40 times" but on film i can tell u he's a high 4.2 low 4.3 guy, He's quick and agile yes competition in the NFL is different from playing at wes but if he went to a D1 BCS school he'd still get his sh__ off, like i said speed kills and he's just torchin them.
