New Orleans Saints: Why the Saints Should Sign Dallas Clark | Bleacher Report

I literally sat up in my chair and my drink came up...... Is this dude still out there!!!!

Clark is still a free agent, I believe. I wonder why?

Oh, Mickey............

Make it happen!

no

IDK, they already have an injury-prone veteran TE in Thomas, so I'd rather see them save a few bucks and fill the 3rd TE spot with a young player who might develop into a weapon.

We still do not know what Brees salary cap hit will be, I do not suspect that Clark will come cheaply.

Age, combined with the injuries should make him affordable (if Drew signs a long term contract).

Put me down in the "I'm interested" group.

Obviously the price would have to be right.

But neither has David Thomas, Lance Moore, Pierre Thomas, Chris Ivory, Mark Ingram or Marques Colston.

Clark played in a total of 17 games the last two seasons with 71 receptions. Each season, he was placed on injured reserve; in 2010 he had a season-ending wrist injury and a pinched nerve and broken fibula cost him time last season. Clark turns 33 next month.

so why add another player that is a high risk to end up on IR ?

i say wait to see what happens during camp.

or look at a lunch pail FA like

Zach Potter, TE, Jaguars. Age: 26
Height: 6'7"
Weight: 279

maybe not the most nimble of TE but he can help out on both sides of the ball if needed. DE in college. 5 blocked kicks in college. a few int's also

i still say wait and see what happens first
