New Orleans Saints could sign Washington Redskins Devery Henderson?

Why the HELL not.

I am sure they still have his phone number in the rolodex, but there'd have to be some pretty drastic injuries or shakeups for them to actually need to call him. We are fully loaded at WR right now.

I think we'll cut someone who ends up on an NFL roster elsewhere.

Here is why not....

Because at this stage of the season there are only so many reps to be taken and to give Henderson, Meachem... Anyone other than what we have is taking much needed reps from Tanner/Toon/Stills/Breaston. These 4 guys need each and every rep they can get before the season starts.

There are certain situations when just kicking the tires takes away and does do some harm.

If that is not good enough reason then the fact that we let them go for a reason having only to do with their performance should be.

If for one second Sean Payton thought Henderson had what we need he would have been on the first flight to NO after he was released.

Robinson has had a really odd career when he completely exploded for Dallas while back then didn't even come back with the team (or do anything elsewhere). Anyone have any idea why?

What about that stuff that hangs from the trees and oh oh stinko? Oh yeah and the other Oh oh! lol

I'm fairly sure at this point of his career, and for some time, his place in the Saints offence went a little like this.

1 - Devery, you are going to block for Colston/Moore/Graham. Give them an edge.

2 - Run as fast as you can on a deep route and if you can get separation ...... sorry if they have a blown coverage, we'll throw it to you

Love what he did for us. Great guy. Did a job. Not coming back. Waste of reps for the youngsters.

Injuries. He's had more concussions than Austin Collie and ankle/knee problems besides that.

A fast WR with stone hands still has stone hands. I would rather split out our TE's than sign him because of "speed".

Well he has just been cut by the Redskins
