I have 0 confidence in Merideth and based on what Payton has said about the play at WR as a whole I don’t think he makes the cut. Outside of Thomas nobody is really lighting it up. I have a feeling Payton is running out of patience and isn’t going to be comfortable waisting a spot on a player coming off injury who hasn’t shown squat in preseason. Makes IR with return at best.

Meredith is on a 2 year deal. Putting him on IR would be a dumb move (unless he's truly a set back/which doesn't appear so). Sitting him on the bench for yet another season is not going to help him do that. But he needs to stay off IR so he can practice. That is important for a player coming off a ACL tear.

Let the man get back to game speed before throwing out pitch forks & stones.

This coming from the guy that lost $20 to me because of being 100% positive that Drew Brees wasn't going to be on the Saints roster this season.

I said he wouldn’t be on the roster this season if we would have had another 7-9 season. Fortunately we didn’t and the team as a whole looks to have a very high ceiling. If we went 7-9 last year he would not be here right now.

I just paid the $20 because around mid season when it was obvious we wouldn’t go 7-9 you started whining about how I never put the 7-9 caveat in the deal.

I bet you another $20 that Merideth doesn’t start 8 games.

You got it. And by starting it means he is the primary slot receiver in at least 8 games. Not that he is in on the first play with only an x and y out there.
