He openly stated he wasn’t signing with anyone who isn’t going to be a legitimate contender.

I feel like it was more of the QB he was playing with. Dak Prescott is a very pedestrian QB.

What happened to Ben Watson in the 2nd half against the Rams? He had great production in the first half then he disappeared. I don't recall seeing him take a snap in the 2nd half. If Ben is hurt, could this be why we're seeing Dez & Brandon Marshall coming in for workouts?

Love the cheating the cap and cap hell come. Ts
They realise that as it stands we have over 100ml plenty of cap in the coming years. Though plenty of players to pay

Yeah he went out with his finger bent in the wrong direction; not sure how long or if he will be able to come back...

I thought it was just dislocated, but I’m not a doctor

Have you seen much of his play the last couple of years? All I see is a guy who has a very limited route tree, whose ability to create separation has severely diminished. He was never a fast guy, but he's even slower now. He doesn't consistently win 50-50 balls anymore, which was one of his strengths in his prime.

This is a guy who hasn't been able to secure a job, despite so many teams around the league needing receivers. He's had a handful of workouts with some of those very same teams and nothing has come of it. Most guys in his position get jobs, or at least training camp invites on their reputation alone. The fact that he hasn't is, to me, very telling.

So much to consider and talk about with this opportunity.

If you are a defense - How do you cover Bryant and Thomas, much less with Kamara on the field.

If you are Drew Brees - Welp.. Christmas. A double prom date with Linda Carter and Catherine Bach.

If you are Thomas - Dies this push you harder or chip away at your soul knowing that Loomis could have a second legit #1 receiver option when you are negotiating your contract?

If you are Sean Payton - Do you risk the drama might bring when your offense is firing on all cylinders, and your locker room is stable?

Lots to gnaw on.

He would be a fool not to I know that much. Latching on to a real SB contender. Rubbing it in Jerry's face if that goes down.

I just had the thought that maybe Brandon Marshall could actually be the more interesting piece. He is a huge receiver that can run block - he could be a role player at both tight end and wide receiver. We'd have to see that he still has something left in the tank and his head is right of course. Just a wild hunch but given our tendency to move Taysom at various spots and putting Kamara in the slot I can't rule it out.

I'm more concerned about production against Carolina (twice), Pitt, Philly and the hated Falcons.

But circling back to my original post/question ... Saints & Dez would have to be on the same page as it relates to his role at WR in New Orleans & if he is willing to accept it in order to play for a legitimate contender. Anything to take off the pressure from Kamara & Thomas would be a positive.

Change could be good. It's working with Josh Gordon in NE.

I'll trust the process.

You're right, I forgot about the offer from the ravens. But he also flew to Cleveland practically begging for a job and walked away with nothing. He made it pretty clear he wanted to sign with them, and they need all the help they can get.

I completely agree. I'd take Marshall over Dez. Dez is a whiny little *****. Always been a whiny *****. Always will be. He throws fits and thinks that in order to win, you have to throw to him. Why the **** would anyone want this tool bag on our team? Do you really think that this time away from football has humbled him? Lol. **** no. If it did, he'd have taken a contract earlier, not saying that he "will only play for a contender." Like he's a first ballot HOF receiver. Lol. Hilarious.
