I am glad it was not Tanner. Sorry I am rooting for the kid. |

Re: Meachem breaking news
I would've guessed that the Saints would've picked up another OLB with the open spot. Some one like Jay Richardson maybe.

Re: Meachem breaking news
@LarryHolder: The reported Vilma to IR/designate to return would open up a roster spot for Meachem.

Re: Meachem breaking news
So formally Meachem can't ink that deal until Vilma is moved.

Re: Meachem breaking news
Had a ton of ILBs on the roster anyway. Seems like a logical spot to subtract one.
I don't for a second believe that Vilma is so injured that they feel he needs to be on IR; otherwise he wouldn't have made the 53-man roster to begin with. This is just a way of opening up a roster spot without having to actually cut somebody. |

Re: Meachem breaking news
Goodness gracious, guys. We have one of the best GM/scouting departments in the league along with one of the best coaching staffs. Give it a rest. Coach Payton has already said that they refuse to sign someone "just to be signing someone". You can bet your bottom dollar that every stone has been turned in search of help at EVERY position, including OLB. If there is someone out there that can help it has been or will be explored. In the mean time, we have a WR that knows our signals and playbook and is a year removed from being a stud deep threat for us. It only "doesn't make sense" if you're a bit behind on how things work.
