Underhill: Saints talking with FA wide receivers (1 Viewer)

Is Auden Tate the same person as Golden Tate?

No.

Manny Sanders makes a lot of sense. Solid veteran WR… won’t cost much… and is familiar with the offense. If I were a betting man, I’d have to see he’s got the best odds of getting back with the Saints.

I think a trade for a WR is also still very much in play.
Brandin Cooks
Tyler Lockett
Laviska Shenault

Shenault would be very interesting IMO. The talent is there in spades, and he also has versatility. Remember, the Saints also lost Ty Montgomery this offseason… and Shenault can do a lot of the things Montgomery did. Shenault reminds me of Cordarelle Patterson, only.. I believe Shenault has the ability to be a better pure WR than Patterson.

Shenault isn’t very good. Honestly, I think he should convert to RB. He is pretty stiff, poor acceleration, very inconsistent hands. He made Treadwell look like an all-pro

I'd like A.J Green on a one year deal. He's not the threat he once was, but he could bring some much needed leadership and a steady presence for a young and inexperienced WR room.

I don’t. I watched a repeat of a Cardinals game on the NFL Network a few weeks ago. Murray constantly targeted Green with terrific passes that hit him in the hands and he consistently dropped them. It could’ve just been a bad game but he certainly looked done to me.

Is there any reason not to go after Landry? I don't keep up with other teams much, but I remember he really good at one time.

According to pro-football-reference.com, he had 5 drops last season. He didn't catch all of his targets, but the hit in the hands constantly might be an overstatement. He had 54 catches for 848 yards on 92 targets. That is more catches and yards than every Saints receiver last year and he had less drops than AK did, who had 9.

Cardinals vs. Seahawks Week 18. Watch the entire game and get back to me about those 5 drops. There’s a reason the Cards weren’t overly interested in retaining him.

On sports talk today someone asked Mike D which he’d rather do. Draft a WR in the 1st round or sign Jarvis Landry. He said no question sign Jarvis Landry.

Well that settles it...sounds like we need to draft a WR in the 1st

Don’t worry he wasn’t suggesting we replace Jameis in the first round. It was so we could draft a lineman.

It isn't always about Jameis...you do know that right?

With you it is.

With you it is.

It literally was not in this thread...maybe you might want to look in a mirror every once in a while

I saw Odell is now open to returning to the Browns. Seems like Everyone wants to play with Watson. Nobody wants to play with Baler.

Taysom?

 

[BayouSAINTJoe]

Are we really doing this right now?

Well, it's come out that Baker apparently wasn't planning on attending OTAs, minicamp, etc. with the Browns. No wonder teams are telling the Browns they'll have to give them a pick to take him on. From first overall pick to a game of hot potato.
