SAINTS, ROBERT MEACHEM HOPE TO HAMMER OUT NEW CONTRACT,

biloxi-indian · 02-22-2014, 10:01 AM

Both the Saints and Robert Meachem would like to hammer out a deal that would bring the veteran wide receiver back to New Orleans for 2014, more than one league source has confirmed.

The Saints and Meachem’s camp had broached the topic of a new contract by Friday evening, one of the sources said. Of course, what will ultimately determine whether Meachem rejoins the Black and Gold is if he and the team can agree on how much money he’s worth to the Saints.

As dreeeeeeeeppppppp as the draft this year is at WR.

Why?

Speed sells. I'm okay with this.

Vet minimum, and if someone beats him out, fine.

In my eyes, he has disappeared way too often in games. If he resigns great, if he doesn't no biggie.

It would be great if we could keep him at a realistic price for the team. He knows the system and has alot of speed. Restructure another receivers contract like colston and we'll be ahead of the game. Tag Graham at TE and tell him we will sign him next year at wr price with a bonus to make up for the discount this year.

It would be cheaper to sign him now on a back loaded deal than pay the price of the tag.I dont like the idea of tagging Graham as you just have to wonder how a player will react in regards to making the catches that hurt over the middle without a long term deal to compensate for injuries
