Patriots, Saints reportedly interested in Bengals’ TE Tyler Eifert
 
“League sources said the Saints and Patriots are among the teams most deeply looking for pass catching help, and both would have interest in oft-injured tight end Tyler Eifert as well, who is making just $1 million this season.”

Our IR is well populated already.

Well there's something to be said about keeping him away from the Pats and maybe there's good karma in putting a Notre Dame guy back in a gold helmet. But the injury record is a huge concern, plus the fact that we don't really need him.

But yeah I could see Mickey and Sean get him and then we run a whole lot of 2 TE and heavy sets to offset our suspect depth at WR and then everyone will say it was a stroke of genius.

Danelle Ellerbe 2.0.

Talented player but brittle.

People with a long history of injuries don't suddenly become healthy in the NFL. Plus, the injuries have really diminished his talent as well.

I’d prefer Emmanuel Sanders.

Col Sanders wasn't even a real Col. But to your point, no, we need to lay off these injury prone TE's. I'd rather have Watson and start using him immediately.

why would we want Eifert?
let's go after Green. In Boyd and Ross (hurt) they have two good, young receivers. Their season is already over so they should be sellers

They could bounce back. AJ Green is close and Auden Tate is a massive RZ target who is finally coming along. They are down for sure right now but they aren't Miami Redskins level of hopelessness.

I disagree. They lost to the Bills, Steelers, and Cards, and the Pitt game was a blowout.
They are in the #1 draft choice race

Re: Patriots, Saints reportedly interested in Bengals’ TE Tyler Eifert
 
I'm down on Jared Cook however I still think he'll continue to improve.

IMO we are still a LEGIT #2 WR from getting back to where we want to be. If that means adding AJ Green or Sanders .. do it.

Beastmode 10-09-2019 11:59 AM
Re: Patriots, Saints reportedly interested in Bengals’ TE Tyler Eifert
 
Highly unlikely they trade AJ. If they do that miami and the skins have some serious competition for the #1 pick. They would all be so closely matched up on no talent.

Personally, I would think that if they like their young talent at receiver, that would make this the perfect time to trade the 31 year old Green. He's still got game, but it's not likely to be for much longer, and he's injured a bit too often.

Green has more value for a contender in the short term, than a rebuilding Bengals team in the long run, imo. So if you're Cincy, get something for him while you can.

Now that Sean has finally taken Teddy's training wheels off, we're already seeing improvement in our receiver corps. He threw 4 TD's to three different receivers, and hit 6 different receivers in the game. I'm not above selling some of the future to win now but I think we're OK with what we have especially when TreQuan comes back.

Tre re injured (went to the locker room) himself vs the Bucs. Not sure if it's the same ankle but we are kidding ourselves banking on a 2nd year WR to bail us out this year when Mike is double/triple covered.

I'm not saying TQ is THE answer, I'm saying in my opinion our receiver corps is better than you and some others are giving them credit for. Our receivers are getting open and making catches and we're winning leaning a lot on AK and MT who are the best at their positions and in their prime. I just don't see the big gaping need that you do.

Which wide receiver(s) not named Micheal Thomas is getting open and making catches on a consistent basis? Cook? Ginn? Carr?

TB threw a perfect pass to Ginn last week somehow ended up in a defenders hand & INT :rolleyes:. I cannot stress enough that at some point this season, a DC will take away our only threat at wide out. Happened last year with Talib on MT...

Saints desperately need a a legit #2 WR. Currently we don't have one on the roster.

Cook, then by committee including the two Hills.
Everyone is so quick to make snap judgements around here this year. Teddy's a garbage check down only QB, the defense is the worst ever and DA needs to be fired, Cook is terrible one of the worst FA's we ever brought in. As Teddy is progressing, Cook is also progressing. He had 6 TD's and 900 yards as the first receiving option in Oakland last year. He and Teddy are getting on the same page.

If one of those two goes down we are screwed. Eventually good defenses will figure out a way to take them out of the game. We also need another option in the red zone. This is nothing new, guess you werent watching last year.

Those quotes never came from me SaintGnome.

I'm probably one of the biggest supporters of Teddy and Cook on this forum.

Back on topic ... Saints must find WR production outside of Can't Guard Mike if we expect to make the run I know this team is capable of making in late January.

OK I see, sorry to lump you in with most of the posters here on those topics but then you have confused me Major. You like and support Cook, but if MT or AK get removed from a game, you don't think he's the one to step in to produce? Or are you saying we still need another even with your expected very good output from Cook?

I could have swore that was Kamara not Ginn. Have to go back and watch it but it was a super tight window. Great throw but the risk of a pick was high.

***Confirmed. Kamara not Ginn. on the pick

We didn't have Cook last year.

Re: Patriots, Saints reportedly interested in Bengals’ TE Tyler Eifert
 
We are lucky to be getting much of anything out of Cook. He has been less than average 95% of his career and he's an old man. He kinda hit a wall and never improved. Last year, nobody cared because they sucked so bad so he was wide open most of the time just like that Bears WR we had who got cut again.

Think he meant the previous week vs Cowboys, opening drive Ginn bubbled a pass which turned into an int.

Personally, I hope we bring in a #2 WR. Ours just ain't getting the job done.
