Re: I am going to stay positive this year
Coleman, the drops. CM was a WR by default and mostly garbage time.
I want to believe but historically not much to say otherwise. Maybe they turn into solid cog wheels. Maybe not. The SB run we had 3 solid WR's and a solid TE. Do we have that right now? I don't think so. |

Re: I am going to stay positive this year
Which drops? Maybe we should have a wait and see approach as it relates to Meredith. If he comes back 100% healthy, he can become a legit #2. For what it's worth, the Eagles won the title with a makeshift WR group (ranked 12th in terms of production) Jeffries, Agoholor, Wallace & TE Ertz.
Saints training camp awaits. |

He sat out all of 2017 and have had a full 20 months to recover come training camp. The Bears thought they could sneak him by on the lower level RFA tag to save a million or so in cap. They had hoped other teams would have been spooked by the earlier injury. The Saints didn't fall for it and offered him a deal the Bears couldn't match. Meredith has the size (6'4") and the route running ability to be a solid #1 WR on several NFL squads. He has excellent hands and is extremely intelligent. He can work out of the slot or outside. He has been working with Brees in San Diego this summer and should be full go.

Re: I am going to stay positive this year
I watched him all of 2016. He was WR1 by default due to injuries to better WRs. He did well but the team was also awful. I do hope it works out but go watch his highlights and tell me if it looks like he was taking on strong coverage. One of his TD's was one of those fluke hail mary bounces.
I'm just not crowning him anything until the final roster. Too much competition left to say otherwise. |

We also have the best WR's coach in the league in my opinion, the same guy who was coaching Cam in 2016. I don't expect pro bowl production, but I expect he will make an impact.

Let's face it, Meredith has a huge amount of upside. I personally believe this guy will play well in New Orleans.
Training camp can't get here quick enough. |

Re: I am going to stay positive this year
It was a good move, not questioning that at all. We stole him from Chicago basically. I do believe though the competition will be intense. He could get buried on the depth chart which, is what happened to him in Chicago until they had a string of injuries. He may be gold or, he may be a good insurance policy.
