Wide receiver Robert Meachem 'mentally free' in first offseason back with New Orleans Saints
 

Whatever guarantees Robert Meachem thought he had two years ago when he signed a big-money deal with the San Diego Chargers are gone.

The New Orleans Saints wide receiver is now working under a one-year contract that provides no security beyond even his next play.

That might cause some to worry. Not him. He's fine.

"I'm mentally free," Meachem said Saturday during a football camp at the Joe W. Brown Recreation Center.

I think meachem understands that SP likes to keep him around because he knows the offense, a one year deal literally makes him work for that contract rather than having to live up to expectations on a multi year deal

Meachem's worth a single year deal. If for nothing else, those 2-3 games per year he has the potential to grab 3 passes for 80 yards and a TD

mentally free??? i always thought he could not grasp the mental part of the game enough to make an impact a first round pick much less a third round pick should.

maybe he is an incandescent bulb just flicking forever, driving everyone crazy till one day it just becomes accepted and ignored. Then all of a sudden after years of flicking just turns on to the amazement of every one.

Mentally free??? what this all about.

From reading the article it appears to mean he doesn't have all the distractions here that he had in San Diego.
Did y'all read the article? :p

In San Diego he was expected to produce like a #1 receiver. Just shows you how incompetent their management is to think he would even be capable of that. If Meachem manages to hang on another year it's because he knows his role in the offense and is a good blocker.

Free to accept just being mediocre........

His dream come true.

Re: Wide receiver Robert Meachem 'mentally free' in first offseason back with New Orleans Saints
 

yeah i did.

first round with the saints yawnnnnn
second round with the chargers yawnnnnnn
back with the saints yawnnnnnnnn

distractions are not the issue here. he is a one trick pony that never lived up to his draft position. his production clearly results in the term flop for him. thank god he can block better than most of our WR and TE. that is his only saving grace.
