For the record, I thought the Peat re-signing was dumb. The Sanders signing, I think is great. And I don't care how much more the Saints know about their players than I do. "Knowing" things does not guarantee a good decision. Sometimes teams ignore obvious regression, for the hope that they can somehow help the player "rediscover" their prior form. Happens all the time.

And forums are not meant for universal butt kissing. I wish some people would understand that.

Yep this was a fabulous move and it is for 2 years...probably one.

Agree about Peat. Didnt get it, dont get it

It wasn't Politically Correct in WhoDatNation to say it then, but if you're gonna be honest, we knew weren't going to the Superbowl after losing to the 49ers...

It should have been the purple people eaters feasting on Peat

Sanders can't do that. Too old and beat up. He never was a decent WR anyway. We'll get somebody else and Sanders will get beat out in camp.

What good is a player with blazing speed when your QB can’t take the top off the defense? We’ve had Ginn for years now and Brees can’t utilize his most important skill set. Sure, you needs a flanker who can run to keep the defense honest, but what Brees needed was more route runners who can get open underneath. Plus, what’s stopping us from going WR first round? Plenty mocks have us going Justin Jefferson at 24. As far as Sanders getting beat out in camp...it’s like you’ve never seen that guy play before. He’s an extremely savvy and talent wide receiver who never had to rely on elite athleticism to get open.

A point that simply cannot be igored anymore. Safeties don't have respect the deeeep ball because he can't get it there. They can cheat up a bit and focus on the intermediate routes.

The difference may only be about 10 yards or so, but for DB's thats a lot of territiory they don't have to worry about.

Exactly. It allows a DB to play really aggressively and jump underneath routes.

NFL network showed some highlights of the 2019 Saints/Niners game right after the signing to NO…

Sanders really gave us the business with his route running & the ability to separate. Even threw a pass for a TD.

Glad he's on my team now.

Whoa! I went to bed early last night and completely missed this! What a great surprise to wake up to.
