Dez Eyes October
 
Quote:
The New Orleans Saints brought in more than a dozen candidates, but failed to find a convincing number-two option to pair with All-Pro wide receiver Michael Thomas on the starting offense. The door’s not yet shut on a potential combination with former Dallas Cowboys superstar Dez Bryant, who briefly signed up with the Saints last year on a near-minimum salary before going down with a ruptured Achilles tendon.


Bryant recently spoke with Jane Slater of NFL Network about his lengthy recovery from that injury, and his expectations for the 2019 season. Bryant still feels he can contribute and is confident about his health moving forwards.

“I’m way better than I was before I went to the Saints last year,” Bryant said in an interview with Slater. “Mid-October is when I’m going to be trying to get back in the league.”

Bryant has said earlier this summer that while teams have reached out to gauge his interest, he won’t sign with anyone until his body and mind are ready to take on the toll of an NFL season. He’s also said that he’d like to give the Saints an opportunity to sign him before anyone else, having enjoyed his brief experience in their locker room and feeling he owed them for taking a chance on him in the first place.

I'm in the minority but I hope the Saints give Dez a call when he's completely healthy. He's a vet with experience and could be very helpful to all those young WR's. This man wants to help a team win more than anything else.

And that "Dez is a locker room cancer" stuff is b.s. Remember they said the same thing about Eli Apple before the trade and he's been nothing but a team player in New Orleans.

Well I'm with you. I was genuinely excited about bringing him in last year and I'm hoping the team will give it another go when he's ready.

Our LR culture is strong for sure but I’m not sure he’s that much better or worth the risk anymore than some of the guys on PS. He is talented but being out of the league for so long and coming off that injury is
Lots of young receivers and if he does try to pull his BS theres some impressionable kids on the team. I was all for it last year.

I guarantee he’d ball out with the Saints. Our red zone offense would be unstoppable with Dez, Mike, Cook, and Kamara.

And bag the one you didn’t later in the night. Even if she’s a biyach and has bad knees.

Hopefully we won't need him... but if we do, we do have something already started with him.

We don't have a guy on the roster who can do what Dez can do. If he's available and capable it would be a no-brainer, in my humble opinion, to bring him in.

Our current slot WR is Austin Carr. 9 receptions/97 yards in 14 games for 2018 isn't good enough. Hopefully the addition of Jared Cook open things up for Kirkwood/Tre & we get a healthy Ted Ginn Jr.

The last thing we want to see happen is Brees throwing to Michael Thomas 3 downs in a row because we have no other legitimate targets against playoff caliber teams.

I was interested in this last year when he was on the roster for like thirty five seconds.

It will be interesting in October to see the classic OCD Sean Payton tinkering with his offense, like a little kid playing with his toys. Does he put somebody he's got back in the toy chest and take out Bryant, the shiny new object, or does he stick with the toys he has? We'll see. Also maybe just the idea of Dez being out there somewhere, waiting in the wings, will scare some of these younger receivers into catching the darn ball.
