Should Saints be looking for WRs?

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I wonder what type of a deal Houshmandzadeh is looking for? He might be a good fit and might be willing to sign a 1-year deal for peanuts to get the opportunity to play for the ring and rejuvenate his ...

At 33 he's not yet over the hill either... but I have to admit that I didn't watch many Ravens' games last season.

I think we're all a little worried about Colston's health and it doesn't hurt to wonder if the receiving group will be strong enough if he's not available. To that end, we should look at our own wide receivers like Morgan, Billings, etc. to see if they could provide some support. And only bring in an outsider if it really is a great fit. Team Obliterator is NOT a great fit, unless you get fantasy points for dropped passes.

Just be glad we're not like the Falcons and Matt Ryan whose passing game would be pretty much toast if anything were to happen to Roddy White. The jury is out on Julio Jones.

DeSean Jackson could be available come next off-season if he can't come to turns on a long term deal with the Eagles. With all their acquisitions it might be hard for them to fit him under the cap.

Not that the Saints have a lot of cap room left, but they have their share of 1-year deals that will come off the books. He could make the Saints offense extremely explosive with his speed and big-play ability.

Jackson as a WR is a little overrated. He is very very fast....but he has more drops then Henderson does.

Plus he likes to prematurely celebrate TDs on the 1 yard line.

Yeah that was sick. I remember thinking that Reid will tear a new one on this rookie...

Sick and sickening. That was the last week of the regular season for fantasy football. If I won my game, I was in the playoffs, and if I lost I was out.

I started Jackson in my money league. I lost by 3 points. I'll never, ever, forgive him for that.
