The most important thing that you need to know is: There will be ridiculous, petty posts all over your board when people misspell his name.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. As much as I hated to see Jackson walk, we saved over 30M by letting him walk and signing Meachem. Another thing I like about him is that he's a tall guy. Rivers has been throwing to tall receivers pretty much his whole career.

We play you guys in the Dome this season. Do you think there will be much reception when he hits the field?

Yep! Harper's got some love waiting for him in the middle.

I'll clap for him until he catches his first pass, then I will be booing and hissing and cursing his name.

wasnt really the most popular receiver in my eyes. he was 3rd or 4th when lance moore was healthy so i think people will be indifferent. i know i was pissed when we drafted him. i dont think his jersey was a top seller. i think rivers and him will be better for Meach's game...he'll probably catch a few long td passes.

Yeah I believe we should have gone defense instead of drafting meach that year but we didn't, good luck to meach, all the same not when he plays us, if it's a player that's left the saints I want to see them get embarrassed, have a poor game or take a big hit from us.....it's the team we support not the player

I hope he burns us in the Dome for a looong one. Then spikes the ball at midfield.

Yeah, when the Saints are up by 28 pts!

Sorry Charger Fan, I love Meachem, but $25 million is a mistake. Big mistake. His hands are not reliable and he disappears way too easy. Another reason why I think this is a mistake is your front office has had terrible judgement in the past few years. Think about this, the Chargers were willing to pay Meachem more than they ever paid Brees.

Actually when they gave Brees a franchise tag, they gave him 8 million. This was in 2005, following that break out season he had in 2004.

Good thing is that only 14 million of Meachem's contract is guaranteed.
