Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

@alexmarvez
Source tells @NFLonFOX that @saints have agreed to terms with TE Michael Hoomanawanui on a 3-year contract

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

Championship!

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

Good signing! Instantly became more valuable than Josh Hill last season.

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

I like it.

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

Good signing.

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

Very nice! Hooman is a versatile player!

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

That is a plus.

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

Terrific! He is a good role player with the potential to be better.

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

Solid all around TE. Good signing.

And wth happened to Josh Hill? Maybe in the doghouse last year?

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

the double teams to Graham disappeared so teams were covering him with ease when he was on the field

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

in TE related news, Ravens are pushing hard to sign Watson

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

Great signing and a great backup and blocker on the cheap too! The Saints on preparing for a couple of big moves this week. I can just feel it! WHODAT!

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

I would hate losing Watson,for his production but mostly for the man he is and the way he carries himself. At 35 he is not the future thou. I can't blame him if he seeks a good last contract.

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

Too late, he just signed a deal with the ravens...

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

Great Re-Signing!! The kid can both block and catch. That enables us to keep an extra player at another position due to his abilities.

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

OK, so we have at least one NFL TE on the roster.

I don't think we're through acquiring TE's yet.

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

I think Watson was great but Im not sure if he is as good as Brees made him look.

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

That is twice recently that you've beat me to the punch.

There will not be a third.

:banana:

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

3 year 5.2 million. More than I expected for a #3 TE

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

He was our #2 TE last year, and now he's a #1. I have noproblem with him being our starting TE. We just need a good #2 TE now, or a #1B.

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

Problem is he was brought in to be a blocking TE because his hands were not good. What makes them think he will be any better?

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

He caught 11 passes of the 16 thrown to him last year with 3 TD catches; not bad considering Watson caught 74 of 110 thrown his way with 9 TDs

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

Sounds like Hill 2 years ago. WHat happened to him last year?

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

so what part of Hill two years ago has anything to do with Hooman whatever his name is?

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

Well TE market almost bare, besides Mercedes Lewis and Jared Cook the rest are trash

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

It's time for J Hill to step up.

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

Are we seriously going to rely on Hill next year?

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

First day of the new season; way to early to be asking that question...

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

5 year deal?

They must love this guy.

Can't wait to see him in action.

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

We're in cap hell; 5 years gives them a way to spread out the cap hits...

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

True Mitch, but we're only in cap hell this year. Next year we're about league average.

Maybe he's dirt cheap this year.

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

I like this, Good signing.

Re: Hoomanawanui signs with Saints
 

Drew Brees is so bad he once turned a college power forward into a nfl pro bowl tight end.
