Sanders just looked like he was playing on fumes last year. And Fuller might well injure himself signing his deal
Receivers can play a little longer into their 30s than other positions; like QBs they can use their experience to offset declining skills...

If Jarvis Landry would do a three year deal with the first two seasons guaranteed money, I'd get that done in a second...

WRz Emmanuel Sanders in a time share with a rookie WRz would also be good for the team...

Re: 2021 NFL Free Agency: New Orleans Saints

I am a little confused on why so many people are all in on bringing in an aged wide receiver to the mix. I think all assumptions are that MT comes back healthy and if so I believe Callaway will be a perfect fit at the two along with a hybrid like Harty(Harris). Callaway with 4 different starting QB’s last year had comparable numbers to these other FA’s many are wanting. Fact is Callaway was just not ready for a number one role especially on an offense like we had last year so the number 2 role may be where the coaches believe he will excel. And truthfully after seeing what all these young receivers are doing around the league you save your money and hopefully hit paydirt with a young guy coming in and not spend 7 or 8 million on an over the hill receiver.

TE is a position that definitely needs to be addressed. I don’t see very many people discussing this. Yes we are badly in need of a WR 2 but I feel like we can draft a guy. Are there any TE’s in FA or on other teams rosters that would be worth a trade? What’s this years draft class look like?

Appears to be a meh year for Free agent TE's. The only guy I liked was Gesicki but the Fins tagged him almost a month ago.

Can’t really count on a rookie TE to produce either because for some reason it’s a hard transition for that position. It’s up to Trautman, Vannett and Taysom.

Valdez Scantling was a guy that could have really helped us on offense.

As far as defense goes, not really sure what will happen with PJ & Kwon A.

I’d hate to either of them.

Nothing against Alexander, but I'd rather see Werner take majority of the snaps with Davis as the Saints rarely have three LBs on the field at the same time.

True, but in rotation, those guys stayed fresh and were able to be dominant through four quarters - that's why I really want to bring Kwon back...

Also DeMario has maybe one more year of elite play as he's now 33 years old...
