He would be a MONSTER compliment in the Saints offense...

...in fact, the Saints would never punt...

Alexander is going to be a great receiver if he can stay healthy. He came almost out of nowhere last year, he was Rivers favorite target. Would be awesome in the Black and Gold!!

You know CMike, with his size and speed, I really can't see the Saints punting - and I don't say that lightly...

In about a month, FA will be underway...

I expect Will Smith to be the first cap casualty...

Probably a re-structure or a waive and re-sign.

Danno, I can't see him playing in 3-4 defense; he's been as fast as a Nose Tackle the past five seasons which he doesn't have the size, ability to play...

He played in many 3-4 packages as the RDE under GW. He's not the player he used to be but he could play that RDE position OK.

Papz pointed out in other threads that he's just barely under the prototypical size for one.

I'd welcome him if the price is right. I do think he'd get better offers as a 4-3 DE though.

Since the draft if deep in D-linemen I would just as soon see Smith go some where else and be average at best.

A 6'1" 200 lbs. corner, just what we need! We have to get bigger and more physical in the secondary...

I really like Cox too. He's a very talented player, but he seems to get injured ALOT. If he could stay healthy, he'd be a GREAT signing.

I'm on board with the poster that mentioned Delanie Walker also. I think he'd be a great fit with us.

I also want to submit, FA ILB Larry Grant from S.F. He's an excellent player that could start for just about any team that doesn't have Patrick Willis and Navarro Bowman already on the team.
