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

Do you think that fans of the rest of the NFL see Shaheed as a sure fire #2? He averaged about 2 catches for 40 yards a game last year as an UFA. I really like his potential, but not a slam dunk. Also, if you are rating Perry so high, why not other team's draft choices (i.e. Iosivas with the Bengals, Higgins with Dolphins). Let's get through training camp before trying to rank them.

And when he was promoted to starter those numbers jumped to 4 catches and 65 yards all with an extremely weak armed Andy Dalton throwing the ball. For added context those are averages that Higgins and Boyd were putting up with Burrow throwing them the ball.

We got some pretty good low risk, high reward guys filling out the lower final few spots. Edward's had his best season with Carr. Washington was good for Pittsburgh before Ben fell off a cliff and then injured in Dallas. People were screaming to draft Perry in the 4th round and the Saints were happy to get him when they did. Then we got TQS returning who should be a cap casualty. That's a better competition for the 4th - 6th spots than we've had in forever.
