Saints sign WR James Washington to one year deal (released on August 15) (2 Viewers)

Pete Carmichael has no excuses

Pete needs to prove he can be a legit OC and Carr needs to prove he wasn't a product of a bad Raiders organisation.

I am not very familiar with him, to be honest.

I do think that we currently need a 3rd down/move the chains kind of guy.

Someone to fill the Lance Moore role in our offense.

I thought Landry was perfect to take that role, but it seems that injuries have taken the best of him.

Is Washington able to take this role?

Washington is more of a down the field threat, but that’s just what he’s been used at in college and so far in the NFL.

Never know, maybe he can

I have been thinking that maybe either Edwards or Washington may be the springsters, with Thomas and the TEs doing this 3rd down role, and Chris Olave taking a different role, as a more complete receiver, in a fashion similar to Cooper Kupp.

 

[Outbackjack]

He more of the stocky build, not the typical down the field burner.
I recall his hands on contested catchers was superb.

 

[SWJJ]

Wouldn't go as far as to say we have the best pass catchers in the league but I admire your optimism.

Who has a better stable in your opinion?

Tqs is almost assuredly gone

 

[OutlawSaint]

Sounds like we are moving more towards a vertical/west coast hybrid offense.

You forgot US! The best fans in the NFL!

Hope MT has not had a set back!

There’s a reason you heard Dennis say yesterday MT had hardware removed from his foot a week ago and this happens today. I’m not the only one that doesn’t expect him to take a snap next year. You don’t bring in Edward’s, Washington and move up to draft a WR and add a priority free agent and essentially only lose Jarvis from the lineup. The restructuring was more about cap space than it was with the anticipation of him actually playing this year.

Two 2nd rounders, one 1st rounder and a UDFA that plays like a 1st rounder, what's not to like?

Tqs is almost assuredly gone

I think Edwards needs to be more worried than TQS after we signed Washington. Washington has multiple years of production, Edwards has a half season and is on a vet minimum contract with zero guarantees. I don't think we are going to roll with three new WR's if we keep six, TQS having five years in the system will give him a leg up.

Also, it's not like Washington has tremendously more production than TQS:

TQS - 66 games, 136 catches, 1874 yards, 20 TD's, 1.20 yards/route
Washington - 64 games, 121 catches, 1738 yards, 12 TD's, 1.17 yards/route

If Washington played those 64 games in NO, the SSF would want him run out of town.

Why you got bust our bubble? Hope you're wrong but now you got me worried.

Offseason fandemonium is here! LMAO

 

[sfidc3]

Good depth signing.....if he can stay healthy will contribute....

dude the Bengals, the Eagles, the Dolphins, the 49ers...

I know post-draft is peak optimism for every NFL fanbase but let's pump the brakes lmao
