The New Orleans Saints consider Brandon Marshall another “big target” who can help Drew Brees when the team gets close to scoring range.
Sean Payton confirmed the signing of Marshall during a morning teleconference Monday (Nov. 12), verifying an ESPN report.
Marshall visited the Saints last Tuesday for a workout along with former Dallas Cowboys wideout Dez Bryant. The team signed Bryant but put him on injured reserve Saturday with a reported Achilles tear.
As a result, the Saints brought back Marshall with hopes he can give a veteran presence to an...

By Mike Triplett | ESPN Staff Writer
The New Orleans Saints went from a three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver to a six-timer Monday when they signed veteran Brandon Marshall to a one-year deal to replace Dez Bryant.
Sean Payton confirmed the signing on Monday.
When asked what he liked about Marshall's workout, Payton said, "He moved around well. He's smart, he's experienced, he's someone that's been in a number of systems. And overall he had a good workout. He's got good length and size. He's another big target."

The 6-foot-5 Marshall appeared in six games with the Seahawks this season and caught 11 passes for...

The New Orleans Saints are all in.
If you didn’t know it when they traded their 2019 first-round pick to draft Marcus Davenport in April or when they dealt a third-rounder to acquire Teddy Bridgewater in August or last month when they traded a pair of picks for Eli Apple, you certainly do today.
By adding veteran wide receiver Dez Bryant to the roster, the Saints are leaving nothing to chance.
When they failed to acquire a pass rusher in free agency, they went hard for Davenport, the best one they could acquire in the...

Michael Thomas is the best wide receiver Drew Brees has ever played with.
You want the ball in Thomas' hands. Often. He’s the surest shot at positive yardage, which is why for the first time in Brees’ career, the New Orleans offense has one guy eating up a disproportionate amount of targets.
Thomas earns every pass that comes his direction. You aren’t going to find examples of Brees forcing him the ball or looking off open receivers to go back to Thomas. At the same time, it’s fair to wonder if things would be this lopsided if the other receivers on this roster were forcing Brees'...

The Saints are scheduled to host Sterling Moore for a visit on Tuesday, according to a source.
