Saints Going To Jared?

jeanpierre · 03-14-2019, 11:02 AM

While most players get a bump playing with Brees and in this offense, his pedestrian play will not justify the money that will need to be spent...

We had a top five offense with the guys we have sans Ben Watson, and Watson's age limited his snaps, production, play-making...

Was discussing with Rez last night on the FA Thread that I just don't see Cook being that productive after being the only receiving option for Oakland all of last season...

You kind of lost me on that one in regards to production.

Cook is a high level TE that we could desperately use in SP's offense. When I've watched him play, I see a more athletic Jimmy Graham.

He had a career best last season ... just like the other guy we signed on defense (Demario Davis) in 2018.

I hope the Saints can find a way to sign Jared.

Stole my thunder on that I believe he looks better after catch than graham ever was. And in this offense he may make a pro bowl.

Who did the Raiders have to throw to last season?

Amari Cooper was giving no effort as he was trying to get traded?

That left Cook. He was the only legit receiving option last year for the Raiders...

And only one after Amari was traded...

He had 6 ReTDs on the year...

That's pretty sh*tty production when you're the primary receiving threat...

But he won't be the primary option in New Orleans. He'll be a game plan specific option.

We're low on cap space, use it in other critical places like defensive tackle (check, still need one) and defensive end...

Do you want to really fork over money for a complementary role player when Josh Hill can already give you 6 ReTd? And Dan Arnold probably will end up with 6 ReTds as well?

Plus you're gonna have Ginn back healthy, Tre'Quan and Kirkwood will be +1 year from a rookie season...

If we sign a Tight End, spend to get one who can block better than what's on the roster now, or hope Foster Moreaux falls to us on Day 3...

Right? JP and Guido are two of the most stubborn posters here. You'd have better luck trying to tame a rattlesnake.

"Persuasive" may be a better way to characterize.
