Just don't hurt your foot kicking the tires!

Camp bodys.

If he's in shape and focused on football, he could be a great pick up. If he's not, then he's a great camp body for the DBs to practice against.

It isn't that he's not pleased with the return game, it's that it's difficult to pick the right returner(s) with so many good choices.

If they are so good then why did he say Kamara was also not off the table as an option. Not many teams have their RB1 doing it. Kinda stupid to be honest but when WR's are muffing them like like last year you do what must be done.

I don’t think he was pleased.

Nice.

I get signing more experience NFL wide receivers - better feel of QBs not named Brees, in team drills they don't have to develop WRs and learn the offense...

Why are people so confused about these signings? We have 90 spots and 2 wr’s just went down. Makes sense to bring 2 more in. I’d be shocked if either make the team.

I heard a couple of days ago there hasn't been a mishandled catch. And Kamara will be in play regardless of who wins the regular duties. If the Saints are in a situation where they need a huge special teams play he could very well be placed in there. In preparation for that event he'll need to practice as well as any other regular returner.

If we signed the Arizona Cardinals version of Michael Floyd...the league better watch out.
