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.

dumb move...

maybe we could focus on adding depth to the OLB position before making more offensive signings that wont matter. Mickey too focused on offense, I love what the guy has done but there comes a point where you should change your focus for a few years.

If Toon is "okay" then why the signing? I'm a bit surprised by this just because it seemed we needed more help at OLB.

color me confused... pointless signing unless he is retiring.

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.

He's on the B-team.

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