Re: Saints signing Bears’ RFA WR Cameron Meredith to a 2-year deal
I hope they don't match. He could be a free agency steal and nice complement to Thomas.

Re: Saints signing Bears’ RFA WR Cameron Meredith to a 2-year deal
That spells the end of Snead.

Re: Saints signing Bears’ RFA WR Cameron Meredith to a 2-year deal
Wonder if they will
They have Robinson,White and Gabriel I think they will though,good price and can always trade him |
Re: Saints signing Bears’ RFA WR Cameron Meredith to a 2-year deal
Love it! Tons of potential there. Man I hope the Bears don’t match it. Just covering all of our bases going into the draft.

Re: Saints signing Bears’ RFA WR Cameron Meredith to a 2-year deal
Former QB. Solid WR but that injury was bad. Big gamble.

Re: Saints signing Bears’ RFA WR Cameron Meredith to a 2-year deal
Looks like this solidifies rd 1 as BPA. Wonder if that’s a QB...... the only one at 27 Maybe mason Rudolph which I’d like over Jackson anyway. DT, edge, OT, CB and QB seem to be the best bet.

Re: Saints signing Bears’ RFA WR Cameron Meredith to a 2-year deal
Not sure about him contributing much. He put up decent numbers but most of those he was wide open. Looked more like a Pryor situation. Bad team where nobody was really covering him with authority most of the time.

Re: Saints signing Bears’ RFA WR Cameron Meredith to a 2-year deal
I was against this when it was reported he was visiting last week, but I wasn't thinking about the fact that Curtis Johnson was coaching him in 2016, which happens to be his best year. If he comes with CJ's endorsement, I'm all for it.

I'd really like this signing, he looks like a good overall WR and nice complement to Thomas. He could have a similar effect on Offense as Okafor did for our D.

Re: Saints signing Bears’ RFA WR Cameron Meredith to a 2-year deal
Well... assuming the Bears don’t counter we could have our slot WR upgrade. Assuming also he’s healthy.

Re: Saints signing Bears’ RFA WR Cameron Meredith to a 2-year deal
So if the Bears don't match, what do we call him, Lil' Cam?
....Meredith missed all of last season with a torn ACL, but had 66 catches for 888 yards and four touchdowns during the 2016 season. Chicago’s wide receivers coach that year was Curtis Johnson, who now has the same job with the Saints and likely put in a few good words about his former charge as the Saints plotted their course... Ah, so he knows the ways of the Whoopin' Stick! This is exactly what I was talking about on the other thread about Payton liking in-house scouting reports from his locker room... ...and why I found it curious with all the buckeyes on the team already, why we hadn't signed NT Johnathan Hankins... |

Interesting comparison by the younger Fazende...

Re: Saints signing Bears’ RFA WR Cameron Meredith to a 2-year deal
I really think they'll match it but if they don't it would be a great addition and would keep us from drafting a WR until very late or maybe not at all.

If the Bears offer to match then maybe Snead will be properly motivated to come back strong and train hard.
|
Re: Saints signing Bears’ RFA WR Cameron Meredith to a 2-year deal
This could just be a ploy by the saints and bears. Saints put up offer sheet that the bears like, bears match and no one else gets a crack at him.
Or maybe not... |

Before Graham, we'd line Colston in the slot to convert those third downs and red zone conversions; below is a great article on this... https://www.si.com/2013/09/18/marque...rald-deep-dive ...main beneficiary is Colston...New Orleans’ formations put him in the slot, which does two things: 1) It naturally accentuates his size (6-4, 225 pounds) and ability to pull down balls that are thrown away from his body, and 2) It matches him against a safety or linebacker—especially when the Saints are in standard 2-WR personnel, which, with multidimensional players like Darren Sproles and Jimmy Graham, is more often than most high-flying passing attacks. In short, when Colston is on the outside against faster cornerbacks, he is a middle-tier starting wide receiver. When he is inside against slower safeties and linebackers, he ascends to Fitzgerald’s level... Now the Saints have shown they're pretty committed to solving this recent third down, red zone problem by spending 10mil/2 years on Meredith... And the Bears have a tough decision to make as they have to see if they can get that kind of return on their money from Meredith in the Bears' offensive scheme... Either way, should we get that dynamic Tight End to add to the mix, the Saints 3rd down efficiency should return to its historic levels... |

Excellent point. He will not be drawing premier coverage. He'll get lost in the shuffle. All he has to be is quasi open and Brees will hit him. He good hands, speed, size and is good with YAC. |
Re: Saints signing Bears’ RFA WR Cameron Meredith to a 2-year deal
They tendered him really low, with no compensation, so I wonder if that's a sign they are letting him walk
of course that tender looks like a big mistake now, considering they could be looking at a 2nd rounder |
Re: Saints signing Bears’ RFA WR Cameron Meredith to a 2-year deal
The Ravens would sign him and then fail him on a physical if a better receiver hit the market - word getting around about the Ravens...

3:00 tomorrow! Clock’s ticking.

Re: Saints signing Bears’ RFA WR Cameron Meredith to a 2-year deal
I think he will be a Saint.
|
Re: Saints signing Bears’ RFA WR Cameron Meredith to a 2-year deal
From what I can tell he is a guy who can turn a 5 yd curl into a big gain. He's big, he breaks tackles, runs a decent fade route and if we're lucky he'll block downfield a little too. He's probably our most athletic WR. WhoDat!

Re: Saints signing Bears’ RFA WR Cameron Meredith to a 2-year deal
He’s Brandon Coleman with more speed, better hands and elusiveness. At age 25, his contract is worth the injury risk.
Shrewd move Loomis. |
Re: Saints signing Bears’ RFA WR Cameron Meredith to a 2-year deal
anyone else concerned that 5 a year is a lot to pay a guy who didn't play last year?
|
Re: Saints signing Bears’ RFA WR Cameron Meredith to a 2-year deal
Bad idea IMO but it's high risk high reward with that injury but where else can we get an almost 1,000 yard WR with size, speed and good hands at that price. Pryor went for 8 mil on a 1 year I believe last year and Meredith is better.
|
Re: Saints signing Bears’ RFA WR Cameron Meredith to a 2-year deal
He better play for that 5 million and I think he will and should put some fire in Snead's pants!
