Should the Saints re-sign Dez Bryant?

The Saints can’t keep trotting out undrafted rookies from Wisconsin-Platteville and Northern Illinois, and expecting Brees to just work some magic.

If he recovers from the injury and doesn't ask for an outrageous salary, why not?

If he can still play I don’t see why not. If an Attitude starts to rub off on Thomas and Kamara and kick him to the curb.

I think that’s the plan.

He is a significant upgrade over everybody we have not named Michael Thomas.

Yes. Yes we do.

idk if better than Ted Ginn. Ted Ginn step up his game every since he became a saint. His drop ball seems to be in his pass cause I actually can't recall him dropping one being a saint.

He’s dropped a couple this season alone. Coach let him know about it as well.
There was a point earlier in the season where I thought he may be cut bait because of the drops and running wrong routes.
He stepped up his game after coming back.

Not sure. Tre'Quan will probably be better and Cameron Meredith will be back. Depends on how things work out.

Usually that z-receiver for us is a speedy downfield threat opening the field for Brees - even before the injury, was he that guy?!? Not sure I'd agree he is...

He’ll only be effective in the slot at this point. In which case, Kirkwood could possibly beat him out for that role.
