Championship!!!

Camp body.

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

Kinda "small".

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

The UDFA's must not have impressed. No harm in kicking the tires on a vet. Don't be surprised if old #12 makes an appearance this season. ;)

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

*cough* we don't need another wr *cough*

Made of glass

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

Broken ankle and strained calf. Hardly the NFL average for injuries. Dude is 27 years old.

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

Why? (Scratching my head)

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

How many real veteran WRs do you have on the Saints roster?

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

Hmmm he's coming from San Diego ..... no way lightning strikes 3 times

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

We should sign Brian Hartline! That is rock solid WR. Browns are stupid!

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

I like it because we have no experience with our top four

I don't like it because if we wanted a vet rent-a-player we should have signed Boldin

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

If I am not mistaken, if you sign a veteran player before June 1st his acquisition is factored into the compensatory pick calculations. Boldin is one of those players that would count quite a bit in that calculation, while Vincent Brown shouldn't have any affect whatsoever.

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

Depends on the amount that player signs for...

and since we usually cut guys, not "lose" them to FA, it is usually a wash for us. In other words, we won't get anything if Evans or Colston sign elsewhere

and wasn't Boldin cut? if so, he wouldn't count against us

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

Hopefully he's healthy again.

"Brown is long with enough speed to stretch the field. Shows good burst in and out of breaks allowing him to get open in man coverage. Well prepared kind that finds holes in zone. Fearless on crossing routes and puts his body on the line to make plays. Willing blocker that seeks out contact."

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

It appears the 49ers are simply moving on w/ Torrey Smith & Co. I think Boldin has several options available however he may "wait" it out. Maybe skip the upcoming OTA's & possibly land around Training Camp time OR sign with a team that loses a WR to a serious injury (unfortunately it will happen to a team) , subsequently looking to Anquan for assistance at the position.

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

he won't make the team. The dude has played in 8 games the last two seasons and has 13 catches...Boldin would be interesting and if for nothign else then his vet leadership and helping the young guys

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

Our current WR coach John Morton did work with Boldin out in San Fran.

Shouldn't that count for something :p ?

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

Nope. Boldin is a FA.

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

We have about seven players vying for the fifth receiver position. We shall see.

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

It depends on what they're signed for and how that contract's terms, value falls among other Free Agent contracts for that season...

Boldin had signed a two year deal in March 2014 (Seasons 2014, 2015); his contract reached term, he's simply an URFA...

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

I'd say there are maybe three safe bets right now among the wide receivers - Brandin Cooks, Willie Snead and rookie second round pick Michael Thomas...

Brandon Coleman is no guarantee with those questionable hands; big guy, working his butt off, but he's got to be a sure thing with those hands...

Even with Coleman in the fold, this is the least amount of experience we've had at wide receiver since 2006 and the arrival of Marques Colston...

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

And the fact Boldin wasn't signed?

Too much quan? Not enough in the tank?

Or maybe it's a case of let the young guns play, get reps, develop?

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

Watson for Fleener is probably a wash, or a neg for us
Our only other significant loss was Robinson, although Bush might factor in as a 7th round comp, BUT, we signed Fairley, Laurinaitis, Robertson, and Stupar
So, pretty much no pick for us either way, so sign away

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

Boldin is probably entertaining offers from several teams.

Maybe we just aren't on the top of his list?

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

We simply don't sign big name veteran WR's. Never have under Payton. He likes players who can be molded to fit our system and aren't set in their ways.

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

Interesting. Come to think of I can't remember the last proven vet we signed at WR.

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

This is true.

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

Veteran experience! They worked him out as well as Nicks. I guess Brown won.

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

wait and see. he is a player that does anything you ask of him and he does a solid job at it. add a few inches and speed him up and he would be a nice addition. but alas nothing more than a stop gap measure at this point. but you never know. he may end up being the sixth wr. I see a wide open competition at the bottom of the rotation.

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

David Patten had one really productive year for us and then just kind of disappeared

Re: Saints Signing WR Vincent Brown
 

Talented WR - legit player.

Might as well kept Marques Colston

Hartline could be the next Lance Moore
