Saints sign WR James Washington to one year deal (released on August 15)

Saintsphere said

we have 1 Pro Bowler at WR who hasn't played a full season since 2019, no TEs that really will move the needle besides Saints fans high on their potential, Chris Olave, another potential guy in Shaheed, and Kamara. Us signing James Washington is the reason why you just said we have the best pass catchers and he didn't even play last season!

Guys, I'm high on the potential of some of our guys too, but good lord are we bias acting like this core is the best group of pass catchers in the NFL.

And you can't even say the "I'm not just counting the top guys, I'm counting everyone". When a team has two top guys like Chase and Higgins, that is substantially a huge enough talent gap to counter the "depth" a team may have. And again, our depth isn't even that proven.

Peak fan optimism whether yall want to admit it or not lol

Foster Moreau was a well sought after ascending TE. Johnson has shown growth and is primed for a breakout season, and Tysom hill can take a quick screen to the house.

A Healthy MT is a top 3 WR in the NFL and Olave is poised to be a perennial pro-bowler.
If Thomas is that healthy there is not the same gap in talent that you seem to believe. Edwards is one season removed from 60 receptions, better production than almost anyone elses 3-4 receiver. then with Shaheed, Washington, and AT Perry, there is great size speed and talentin our WR room. We dont just have Kamara out of the backfield, we also have Jamaal Williams. Williams caught 122 of 155 targets for 961 yards during his time in Green Bay, he is a more than capable pass catcher.


The defenses will not be able to cover EVERYBODY. You are undervaluing the talent we have acquired.
