Barry Hirstius: MEREDITH OUT, MATTHEWS IN? Saints Wide Receiver Position Could Get “Shaken Up” This Summer

All I have to say is we'll have the best 53 man roster in the NFL!

And the strongest cuts in the NFL that will probably end up starting on another team.

Meredith was never really in. Got paid like he was in. Swing and a miss.

Yeah, five years ago we were looking at other team's rosters in Weeks 3 and 4...

Now those other kids for those other teams are doing that to us...

I'll still be looking for Guard and DT3 Depth...

Went back and looked at some of the Matthews highlights ...

Good size (6'0/215 lbs), has deceptive speed, runs precise routes and has very good hands. Even though he's far from a burner, there is the ability to separate from the defender. Under the radar type signing despite not having consistent QB play over the years.

As I stated in another post (Jared Cook) ... these guys now have a legit QB throwing them the ball & in the right scheme we could be solid in the receiving dept.

Good scouting & subsequent signing on Matthews. He could be that guy we were hoping for in Dez & Brandon Marshall last season.

If Cameron Meredith doesn't bring his A game at camp, he could lose his roster spot to a proven vet in Rishard.

Don't get me started.

We have the best roster I've ever seen on the Saints.
Just look at the offensive and defensive lines. WOW

Great Rosters only will take you so far. Is how well they mesh that counts. Payton has done a good job instilling a good locker room culture. Hope it stays that way. We got 3 good vets in FA but I hope it doesn’t turn into a pissing match about who gets how many touched/targets.

Suspect we'll see much of the bottom of the roster 'churned' this Training camp...
