Bengals possibly targetting Robert Meachem in FA
New Orleans' Robert Meachem could also be a possibility because he is a downfield threat and a good receiver in the red zone.
Who will pair with Bengals A.J. Green? | Cincinnati.com | cincinnati.com |
Get used to it. There are probably 31 teams targeting one or two FA Saint's somewhere on their board.

Simpson is ready for a bigger role. I don't see them going after Meachem... and if Meach is going to play 3rd fiddle, he might as well stay here. They have bigger needs than wide receivers.

When this crop of receivers thins out a lot we will realize just how much we miss Curtis Martin.

If the front office can keep this team intact I'll be massive-impressed.
Then again, only a fool would leave. Seriously. Who has more Super Bowl potential than the New Orleans Saints? Those players we lost last year are crying in Cheerios right now. Alaska |

If we lost Meach, WR's would line up to come play for us and be passed to by Brees. |
Adrian Arrington, come on down!
You are the next contestant on The Price Is Right!! ... like shark teeth... |
I missed that Fujita loss as well. I thought I was the only one.
Had a thing for Gay as well. Not a gay thing for Gay, but just appreciated him to a certain extent. Alaska |
Meachem is good but there is a huge difference in catching balls from Drew versus Andy Dalton. His production would drop.

Don't forget about Joe morgan on IR for next year!

Don't get me wrong, I like Meachem, but there are worse things than losing him in the FA. While he has been good - he has had some drops like the one against the Lions. I think that as long as the Saints have Graham, Colston & Moore it doesn't really matter that much who you insert into the remaining spots.
Keeping Nicks is one of the keys for the next FA period, because Brees will stay even if they have to put the franchise tag on him. And there's already quite a lot of money committed to the O-Line. 2012 salaries: Bushrod: base salary 3,25M; cap hit 6,75M Evans: base salary 3M; cap hit 4,7M Strief: base salary 1,9M; cap hit 2,74M Brown: base salary 495K; cap hit 745K Tennant: base salary 490K; cap hit 533K De la Puente: base salary 480K; cap hit ~550K (2011 numbers) And Evans' contract will increase annually until being 8M with a 10,2M cap hit in 2016, and I guess Nicks will want something in the same neighborhood as Evans is getting, which would be around an average of 8M/season (cap hit) for the duration of the contract when signing bonuses as factored in. |

He has made some great plays for us - the forced/recovered/scored on fumble from an interception, that he had, was one of them greatest plays ever!! |
