"The New Orleans Saints have brought back wide receiver Robert Meachem, four days after releasing him in the initial cut to the 53-man roster. As a corresponding move, they placed rookie linebacker Khairi Fortt on injured reserve with a designation to return."

He is back for 920,000 one year deal

Goes back to my theory... you put on your rosters players that will help you win now. Griffin isn't one of them.

Same receiver for less money. Mickey Loomis is the CAP MASTER!!!

Griffin should be #2 qb

jeanpierre · 09-03-2014, 03:56 PM

We wouldn't have to rebuild if Griffin was on the roster; we'd just reload...

Ah well, F*** it...

I don't know how much Fortt has to offer mid season if he comes back.

I think people tend to evaluate Griffin the way they do mainly because he's a Tulane graduate. If he had come from another program; I don't think he would be held in such high regard.

I truly haven't seen anything spectacular from him this far... at least nothing that SP couldn't coax out of some other low-round/UDFA prospect.

And 31 other teams didn't claim him off waivers

I agree with that FinSaint.

Case in point: Meachem will see the field more this season than Griffin even if Griffin was on the roster.
