I wish him well. He did good things in New Orleans .

Man o man this is big deal we just signed meridith which we have a coin flip that he’ll be ready to go in week 1, Snead I believe would have had a re- break out year again with a hug and kiss from Payton and drafting a rookie unless u hit pay dirty like colston . I too new he was gone just don’t believe it till well he’s gone. Coleman looks like another year in Saints uniform if he not pitted against a high wr draft pick

It surprises me that Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome would pay up to 10M for a guy who had 9 catches in 11 games last year.

I like Snead and I wish him well. It's a great deal for him.

I also don't think it breaks our stride at all. Onward and (more importantly) upward.

OK...it isn't just me! $10M is a lot of money for a guy that really needs to prove himself as a consistent receiver. The contract may be heavily weighted towards incentives rather than base pay, but still, that's a lot of cash over 2 years.

We paid 10 million to a receiver who didn't catch a single ball last year. So they are hoping for results similar to the previous year......just like we are.

Good luck Willie. I will miss saying "I feel the need for Snead."

To be fair we just paid $10 for a guy with ZERO carved last year.

For the record, I think both signings are slight gambles but worth the risk for both teams.

We can still call him "Slick Willie" .

My spider senses tell me that newly signed Meredith will have the higher upside. Bigger, faster & a very good catch radius.

I've placed a sticky note on this thread to review at the end of the season

It’s true CM didn’t play a snap but he only had 9 less catches than Snead. CM showed more explosiveness sitting in street clothes than Snead showed in the game.

Ten Bucks? That's some serious cap management, baws.
