After watching his college highlight film, he may have the best hands on the team.

He could be Colston's/Meredith's replacement in the slot...

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

Tre'Quan Smith is replacing Ted Ginn as the Z-Receiver opposite Mike Thomas, now...

Smith > Ginn
Carr > Meredith

I can’t argue it man... Really starting to wonder about Meredith’s role this season.

Get the Saints making the move to sign Meredith if they didn't feel comfortable bring back Snead, it made a lot of sense four months ago, but...

In light of the developments of Training Camp and PreSeason, what blackandgold expressed mathematically does seem to be logical - now...

In fact, if I were setting the roster for this season, at this point, I'd keep still keep six, but guys might just look like:

WR-X (2) 13 - Michael Thomas, 18 - Keith Kirkwood (UDFA)

WR-Z (2) 10 - Tra'Quan Smith (R3, #91), 17 - Michael Floyd (FA 2018)

WR-S (2) 80 - Austin Carr, 87 - Brandon Tate (FA 2018)

Meredith is having all kinds of issues getting up to speed, so maybe former Saints personnel man Ryan Pace really knows what he's doing?

Can't help but wonder if Ginn could still fetch us a fourth/fifth round pick?

Post June 1st cap hit for trading him would be $1.0mil hit with $3.5mil savings vs cutting him would be a $1.5mil hit with $3.0mil savings...

Anyways, it was only one game so all this may still be premature, but it's going to be an interesting week till 9/1/2018, NFL Cut Down Day...

We could always declare Meredith for Injured Reserve, Option to Return...

68 – Devaroe Lawrence

I got this guy locked to make the final 53 roster. He's showed up and showed out at camp & in actual games.

I don’t think Meridith makes the cut. I don’t see Payton cutting two veterans and putting all his stock in a rookie and camp beast. Smith is Legit and you don’t cut an early draft pick. I think Ginn gets the go over Kirkwood or Carr.
And hell, then there is TLL who has done nothing but stepped up every time he gets the call. It’s going to be tough. We are loaded at receiver.

And for Payton to call out a player in front of the press, I'd be worried about my security deposit if I'm Ginn right now...

Is it Lawrence of Loewen, or is Bromley or Davison in trouble?!?
