Saints Sign WR Rishard Matthews, Waive WR Travin Dural
 

Matthews had very productive seasons with Tennessee in ‘16 and ‘17.

I get it.

Rishard is proven. Travin is a clone of a guy we've obviously committed to

I was hoping Dural would come around and be able to land as a #5 receiver but you can't make the club in the tub.

Travin is a clone of himself... Never really planned out.

Travin Dural (undrafted) - LSU 2017
Malachi Dupre - (7th rd) - LSU 2017

Hindsight is 20/20 but both needed more coaching up in Baton Rouge.

Good luck to Rishard Matthews at camp.

Not a fast guy but he's a proven vet, runs solid routes and can move the chains.

Stay healthy.

Unless you're a dancing bear left tackle, you'd better be available...

Insurance policy. Kirkwood will be the #2. Ginn for the deep at #3 but those are really 3 & 4 because Kamara is #2 WR.

IDK beast ... if this guy can stay healthy & focused, he'll get a lot of starter snaps.

I have way more faith in his ability vs Brandon Marshall, Austin Carr :rolleyes: and aging Dez Bryant's of the world.

Rishard Matthews put up 662, 945 and 795 yards in a stretch from 2015-2017... I wouldn’t say it’s a reach that he could be our #2 WR.

We have such a great track record bringing in injured players I’m sure this will work out.

Lol. Actually, you've got a point there. Seems like we always end up with the **** at the end of the stick.

Drew will make this guy better. I always thought Matthews had alot of potential.

I have followed the Titans since they were the Houston Oilers. I don't watch much football besides my beloved Saints but I've watched Matthews and he could be the sleeper that we've been looking for. He is a good player but demanding more playing time won't go over well in New Orleans.

WR competition is going to be stiff between the aging injured veterans vs the young up and coming rookies.

I hope Kirkwood and Smith have big year two leaps. Both have the talent.

Strictly by the numbers, @CantGuardMike did most of his damage out of the slot...

In 3-WR sets, Ginn or Tre'quan manned the Z-receiver, @CantGuardMike actually moved to the slot and Kirkwood and his size or Tre'Quan, relieved Thomas in the X-receiver spot...

Alternated mostly between Hill and Arnold at the Y last year; that'll change with Cook; that left Alvin matched up with a linebacker, how many LBers can run with Kamara?!?

Re: Saints Sign WR Rishard Matthews, Waive WR Travin Dural
 
With the abundance of slot/possession receivers and @CantGuardMike often lining up in the slot on third downs, not sure Rishard has a path to this team...

Rishard has no speed on the outside...
