Seriously? If Carr or Dural "deserved" the roster spot - they would have beaten Snead for that roster spot outright...

Hanging on to a third, developmental quarterback is one thing, but with only 53 spots available on an active in-season NFL roster, it gets real thin, real fast...

If you're a WR4, you're bringing something immediate to that roster - especially a team who's talent level has dramatically improved as the Saints have...

Snead had one bad year versus two very good years - and he's paying the price for that one bad year by likely relocating teams...

Hopefully, we've got a healthy upgrade better suited to solve third down/red zone woes, but don't kid yourself and think we're not losing a good player...

To be fair, it's not like Snead didn't get a chance to shine upon his return last year. And there's a reason the Patriots hate that we scooped up Austin Carr. Flacco is no Brees. That difference alone will affect Snead's numbers. Time will tell on who steps up to bolster our WR corps.

Based on the way Snead played last year both could and would beat him out this year. People are saying he wasn’t given a chance. He was given every opportunity in the world last year to make an impact. Drew spreads the ball around and Snead still only had 9 catches. Sry, but I’ll trust the front office over you. There is a reason why meridith was paid and Snead wasn’t.

You need to work on your comprehension skills...

Never said Meredith wasn't a potential upgrade over Snead...

Point of fact, even stated that Meredith's signing was meant to address giving Drew a bigger, better red zone target...

I simply questioned your illogical statement that Snead in some way wasn't worth the roster spot that somehow should have gone Dural et al...

And I emphasized that roster spots are a premium in the NFL and that the Saints obviously still valued Snead, also another illogical assumption you made...

And so far as chances, Snead didn't get near the targets he got the two previous years - you can research that at Pro Football Reference - educate yourself...
