This is certainly a surprise. I wasn't even aware he was a free agent. He's not better than Ben Watson was for us this year, but at least he's younger. Hope he works out and doesn't become the next David Sloan.

Stats have shown that he had 2 more TD catches in 2014(last year Colts had major injury problems at QB) than Watson had last year(his best receiving year ever) with 20 less passes thrown to and 50 less receiving yards. That pretty much proves he's better when he has a QB who can get him the ball...

I am just happy we FINALLY did something watching players come off the board and Saints doing NOTHING.

Like the move, there was no one in the draft that could be a starter week one in my opinion

Fleener isn't the issue. The contract is awful.

I know there is some magic baked into the contract with loom is around but there is no way he is worth 7mil per year. We could have some UDFA TE come in and do fairly we'll with Brees throwing the ball.

Fleener might be ok, but he isn't worth close to what we just paid.

Another target for Drew. I like the move as well. Just hope we get something done on the offensive and defensive lines.

I'm guessing the lines will have to wait until the draft...
