Re: SAINTS, ROBERT MEACHEM HOPE TO HAMMER OUT NEW CONTRACT,
We are cap strapped. Why pay a 7 year vet minimum of $855k when you can grab two rookies at $420k each and save 15k?
What happened to the whole trade down for more picks train of thought. Letting him walk gives you two more options to explore. |

Having a veteran that knows the system and is relatively cheap is a pretty good reason to bring him to camp. I suspect they aren't worried about the 400K savings at a position that might be shorthanded on experienced players. You can still bring several rookies in to compete, and if Meachem is a final 53 cut, you can resign him the following week without his contract being guaranteed and then his contract becomes week to week. I don't see a downside here, considering we might lose Lance Moore, and perhaps Joe Morgan. |

The down side is that you can't be over the cap at all and it limits us to prospects. Yes Moore and Meach would be a loss of Vets but my opinion is that Colston/Brees/Payton can get a rookie up to speed just fine. I just see it as a limiting factor in evaluating new talent. |

Well if Meach is slow our other WRs are slugs. |

We need a speedy receiver to open the middle with deep routes.

http://fitnessrxformen.com/wp-conten...STILLS-ins.jpg I would play it like we did last year. Meachem isn't offered anything until we are done with FA, and we have vetted rookies. If we do not find equal talent for less $ then sign him to vet min. |
Re: SAINTS, ROBERT MEACHEM HOPE TO HAMMER OUT NEW CONTRACT,
Meachem actually played pretty well, he sparked our offense vs san fran when they were struggling with a 50 yard catch and run, then made another huge grab later in the game
like oak said, vet minimum and let them fight it out in camp at the minute, stills is better but meachem is a good blocking WR |

Vet minimum - Only after camp is done and we know that there was nothing there of better value. We can sign him 4th week of preseason. |
