I completely disagree. Here me out on this one ....
We have Colston, Cooks & outside of that, who else on the roster is as proven as Hicks? At one time this guy was a serious baller with the Giants & arguably their #1 WR. While he has had a few injuries, Hakeem is only 27. I still say that there is tread left on those Michelin's. I think he would be a great mentor to our man Willie Snead & Cooks. Nicks would certainly be an upgrade over Toon.

As for his declined production with the Colts/Titans .. have you seen the current roster for those two teams at the WR spot? Hilton, Moncrief, Green-Beckham, Wright, Douglas etc. Most of those guys are good to above average.

I think for some of the reasons stated above, this is why we are kicking the tires .

I hope the Saints sign him. The dude was terrific his first couple of seasons. How does a youngster lose that ability? Injury? Immaturity?

I am at least glad that the Saints are checking him out.

could do worse but could do a whole lot better

Is everyone saying Hicks is done at 27?

Rsanders24

Yep....he was done at age 25.

ouch:
and Marques Colston is the only receiver on the roster with more than one year of NFL experience.
oh, half of Cooks' experience was on IR

ChrisXVI

Yep. Anyone who is ok with just having the four WR's we currently have is nuts. We're skating on very thin ice.

ScottF

we have as many RB's as WR and TE combined
as to who gets cut, my guess is Richardson or Barnes, temporarily anyway

RaginCajun83

bigger question is why?

Nicks does appear to be in a death spiral, there is younger, more promising talent we should be signing, at least to the practice squad...

Dezmin Lewis comes to mind...
