Saints should stay away from WR market come free agency time
1 Attachment(s)
Wide receiver is one position group for the New Orleans Saints without much headache this offseason.
The young corps of Brandin Cooks, Michael Thomas, Willie Snead and Brandon Coleman is one of, if not the best ensemble of wide receivers in the NFL. Plus all of them are young and come with an inexpensive price tag ... for now. This means the Saints won't have to pry open their wallet for any receiver when free agency opens in March. There's no need to pursue Alshon Jeffery, Victor Cruz, Terrelle Pryor, Kenny Stills or anyone else. http://image.nola.com/home/nola-medi...9b0fb7a860.JPG The Saints will focus on taking care of their own receivers with Snead and Coleman as exclusive rights free agents. In this scenario, the two players would only become actual free agents if the Saints opted not to bring them back. Also, the contract terms as an exclusive rights free agent are low. read more on NOLA |

Unless there is someone with Joe Horn upside, yes pass.

Maybe take a flyer on a 7th rounder, but def not before. Our track record on developing 'project' receivers isn't great |
Re: Saints should stay away from WR market come free agency time
Somebody more reliable than Brandon Coleman, then I'd say go for it.
Otherwise, address defense entirely. |

Well duh!

Re: Saints should stay away from WR market come free agency time
Nice to hear there is an area of the team that isn't an immediate concern. Michael Thomas is is legit, and Brandin Cooks is actually playing like they drafted him to.

Re: Saints should stay away from WR market come free agency time
For me TE is solid too.
Yes, M. Hoomanwhatshisnuts is a question mark yes, Coby Fleener took way too long to pull his head out of his ass no, Josh Hill was not turned Graham part deaux but, when your QB is Brees, everybody gets better cheap vet, late rounder? yes big signing or early pick? no thanks |
Re: Saints should stay away from WR market come free agency time
Then only place I want them to spend money on is the OL.
Get some serious vets on that line. Keep drafting it will pay off. |
Re: Saints should stay away from WR market come free agency time
We could sign some interesting guys for vet min: Andre Holmes (big guy, great hands), Marquise Goodwin (deep threat)...
