If this guy can show more production (1 rec / 9 yards thus far) than Austin Carr, I'd sign him in a New York minute.

I'm not holding my breath on guys not named Michael Thomas & Alvin Kamara at catching the football in key moments.

Zero harm in a test drive.
Butttttttt, wouldn't it make sense to get him to the facility now and let the team aid in recovery? I know we don't have the best track record, but we did sign him before.

Dez isn't under contract and therefor has zero protection from our team doctors and our team has zero protection from him. There is possible liability in both directions and that's why no one will do that. He also isn't going to recover with a specific team to keep from narrowing his possible options if the Saints do not sign him.

A tryout is one thing, recovery and medical care is a whole different ball of wax.
