Possible insurance for injury. Nothing more.

Even at 35, he had over 1,000 yards & 5 td's. His hands are still elite.

I'd call him.

I want Boldin because is a run-blocking beast.

This is what you have from last season - Cooks, Snead, Coleman...

Coleman's size is intriguing, but he won't get separation with honest coverage; and then, there's the questionable hands...

Cooks is always going to be a home run threat and will get his by season's end, but his size is a liability on third down and red zone conversions...

Wille Snead is a young complementary possession receiver who we were fortunate to land as a free agent...

That's it, that's all you got as far as wide receivers...

So you got questionable hands, an all or none home run hitter, and a good underneath route runner...

Brees and the Saints offense will not be elite without Marques Colston keeping defenses honest...

Always liked Moore but Hicks if he has anything left really intrigues me but all of these receivers we're looking at will be a piece to the puzzle not the final piece for sure. all are 6' or 6'1 so not big threats and it's looks like all of them aren't that fast either.

I would love Boldin for a one year contract.

During his one season here in Indy, he was MIA!

SmashMouth · 05-19-2016, 11:51 AM

Maybe as a late season addition...

The offense will be 'elite' as long as Brees has an o-line that can keep him upright and a running game in the 20s...

Cooks, Thomas, Snead, Coleman and one of the speedster rookies is five. There are some good looking rookies coming to camp this year. Do we really have room for another receiver on the roster? I'd hate to move on from a promising young talent.
