Your bullets are accurate. Thanks for pointing that out.
Everything following is conjecture. Maybe, maybe not.
The fact is that none of Wilson, Means or Perry were getting targets before last week. Wilson and Means having a combines 2 targets over 5 weeks isn't an argument against Perry. Nor is the fact that Perry was taking up a roster spot without having taken a single snap in 2024 while nursing minor injuries a reason to keep him over any of the 3 you listed.
There is also the option to add a OL practice squad player that could then be elevated to the gameday roster without the need to cut Perry. The Saints did add an OL practice squad player in addition to signing another off of thier own practice squad. It required cutting a player from the active 53-man roster. Which player other than Perry would you have cut?
Teams pass on players every draft and every time a player hits waivers on a continual basis. It's the way the NFL works. Sure. You're speaking of the draft and the waiver wire. I fully understand how it works. In the case of Perry all 32 teams passed on Perry in the draft before the Saints took a 6th round flyer on him. There's plenty of professional scouts and members of those 32 teams personnel departments that analyze these players. They miss on plenty of players, but they also get it right on most of them. The same can be said about the waiver wire. There were plenty of teams that could have used help with a good WR coming available on the cheap, but every single team passed on Perry. Time will tell whether or not Perry becomes a productive player in the league or not. We'll have to wait a bit longer to find out.
Nobody on here is saying Perry is the next breakout player, you are just saying we are saying that. Some people here are talking as if the Saints cut the next Jerry Rice.
People are simply saying that prior to being cut, Perry was the 3rd most productive WR on the roster in his time here, behind Olave and Shaheed. That is a verifiable fact. You're using 2023 production to try to solidify a false narrative. If we are talking facts, Perry was the least productive receiver on the Saints roster in 2024 before getting cut.
Maybe we will, but I doubt it's coming. We all have doubts or beliefs in what the future holds. The fact of the matter is we really don't know until it does or doesn't happen.
