How do you guys feel about Meachum?

SloMotion · 01-25-2012, 07:52 AM

Having both Colston & Meachum, I gotta' wonder if Meachum becomes expendable under the salary cap. When I think of WR's, you always want to have one, but when was the last time a big name WR took a team to the SuperBowl without an elite QB throwing to him?

What I'm getting at is you secure guys like Brees, Nicks first and then you try to hang onto Meachum. I like the guy, but WR is something you can fill with F/A, the draft, a late season signing and besides, when Brees is completing passes to 6-7 different receivers a game ... and I saw something in the thread on Shaun Rogers, dieting and what-have-you ... take it from me, it don't get no better with that guy ... deal him now if you can, before it's too late ...

Nothing to deal... if my info is correct - and I'm pretty sure it is - Rogers is a UFA as is Franklin.

The only natural DTs the Saints have on their roster for 2012 are Sedrick Ellis, Tom Johnson, Mitch King (futures contract) and Swanson Miller (fc).

Oh yeah, he is ..... good for you guys, if you're gonna' keep him, you'll be able to get him cheap ..... the guy had a great rookie season and never really lived up to his billing since, seems like his first year with a team is always his best. Big guy to clog up the middle if it fits your scheme though.

I was going through his stats awhile back and I seem to recall most of his career seasons being also contract years, so it might just be that he is somewhat of the Haynesworth-type - only motivated to get a lucrative new deal and once it's secured, they'll relax and just do the bare minimum.

I was hoping it would be different with the Saints and that GW would be able to light a fire under his a$$, but I guess I was wrong or he wasn't just utilized as well as he could've been. Who knows?!

I wouldn't be against having him back for the right price (~$2M) and if he's motivated enough to be a competitor, but if I had to choose between him and Franklin - the choice would be obviously to go with Franklin.
