TE Joel Dreessen (Texans) to visit Saints

I surely remember what he did to us last year.

He's a good TE by living in Houston I get to watch Texans games he should be a good pick up if he decides to sign with use.

How is he with the blocking?

Good, we need more help on offense.

Yeah, he's probably not going to be cheap but we need to replace Nicks.
How about a LB'er or DT?:bng:

He's a TE, not a LG. Although his blocking is exceptional.

could he be a replacement for David Thomas?

This is completely speculative, but I feel like there are situations when a player wants to court a team instead of the other way around, and I would imagine that the Saints are awfully receptive in those scenarios.

LOVE IT!!!!:lolup:

I think we might be a little worried about Thomas coming back from the concussions. It wasn't good during the niner game when Jimmy had to leave for a couple of plays when he was briefly injured. Dressen would be a good #2 TE if affordable.
