If that happens, then the Saints failed on the scouting of Davenport.

It's not hate. He's just old. 33.5 when the season starts. He does have good hands but he does get hurt but people only want to look at last season when he got hurt the prior two seasons.

I bet if it was last season and we sign him people say no, he got hurt the prior two seasons....meh.

He's the same age as Larry Fitzgerald was three years ago when Fitz had 107 catches for 1023 yards. He's one year younger than Fitz was when he had 109 catches for 1156 in 2018. You need to get over this meaningless age crap. Fitz is one of those five WR's that has been targeted 500+ times over the last five years and dropped fewer than 20 ... along with Emmanuel Sanders!

He's no Fitz. Not even close. Fitz is first ballot. One of the best to ever play the game.

Forget the "Fitz" comparison for a moment Beast.

Sanders fills a specific need in New Orleans. He's been very effective out of the slot ... something we have lacked going back to the Willie Snead days.

Even at his age, Emmanuel is still a very good player and like B&G stated ... affordable. When you are a contender like the Saints, you sign smart, veteran (M Jenkins, Sanders) players, not guys who will likely pan out 3 or 4 years down the road. WIN NOW.

What's not to like here?

No he isn't, but over that period he has been very good. My example was showing that age isn't always a factor as you ALWAYS seem to portray.

Clowney is a no no maybe Griffen. Clowney seems like a guy who will fall off the map after this big pay day.

All this age talk and the Saints starting QB is 41!!!

ES is still a superior route runner.

Quick feet, has a burst, can sell vertical (that's how you get separation).

2 steps out of his break ... he's open. Thomas and Sanders will get a ton of targets.

It will be nice to know that #9 has more than one capable receiver who can create separation and be where he needs to be once the pass is delivered.

Anything that Tre Smith brings to the table in 2020 ... lagniappe.

Not to mention, he'll also have the most accurate QB throwing the ball in his entire career.
