Re: Meachem breaking news

He's on the B-team.

Colston - Toon (Go to receivers with size)
Moore - Tanner (Sure handed slot receivers)
Stills - Meachem (Speed merchants)

While I am not a big fan of the move, I agree. I made a similar comments to Boltsfan more along the lines that Bree's throwing to a WR is a different has different potential than Rivers throwing to a WR.

So as of right now we have a 54 man roster? How long do we have to trim it back down?

We don't have any time, a move had to be made before we could sign we just do not know what it is yet.

As far as I know once the deadline for 53 passes there is no going over. Something has to have been done or the league wouldn't agree to the contract.

I'm very curious as to what that move might be. I love Meachem but, in my opinion, wide receiver is one of the Saints strongest positions. I can't imagine where they could afford to make a cut.

I think we have seen the last of Vilma in a Saints uniform.
