If he was a FA then maybe but given no up the draft pick and paying north of $10M is too much. I truly believe we have one of the best route teaching and technique teaching WRs coach in the league. I want a 6-2+ that can stretch the field and I see some in the draft that could come in and contribute that would cost a lot less. I believe we need to address the TE spot more than WR. |

The last couple of years have seen the WR play (other than Thomas) struggle mightily, to the point that the Saints had to change their philosophy and become a running team. As for as tight end goes, I guess it depends on what you want out of that position. I think if you have good WR's, you don't need to spend money or picks on pass catching tight ends. You just needs TE's who can block. Given the suprising emergence of ground game last year, I would think having TE's who can shore up the line of scrimmage would be a priority. Fleener (and the rumored Graham reunion) don't really provide that. I completely get where you are coming from about not wanting to over pay. I'm just not convinced it will cost all that much in picks, and think the money wouldn't be unreasonable. But who knows. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Re: Saints Could Trade For Dolphins WR Jarvis Landry
Mike Evans just signed monster deal with Tampa. 5 years 82,5 mil, 55 mil gtd. Evans is way overrated. Physical corners can easily manhandle him.
Landry is more complete player. He is gonna get paid. |

Re: Saints Could Trade For Dolphins WR Jarvis Landry
Lattimore and Crawley completely blanketed him. At that price tag, he's extremely overrated. I won't complain though with Tampa continuing to make decisions like that.

Re: Saints Could Trade For Dolphins WR Jarvis Landry
With that cap space they can afford to give him maybe even more money than what Mike Evans got.
