So do we take a look at this guy or do we pass on him knowing that we are set at this position? Thoughts?

We were interested in him last year. Don't know how we'd use him though.

The Saints have two #1 Wide Receivers with Thomas and Cooks, an excellent Slot player in Snead, and extremely cheap #4 options in Coleman and Lampman. Now Curtis Johnson is back, so the stock of Coleman and Lampman are only going to go up, as well as the "Big Three".
Cruz isn't some sort of transcendent talent like a Calvin Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald, he's not a guy who you find room for regardless of your current receiving corps. On top of that, he's not as big as Michael Thomas, not as fast as Brandin Cooks, and not as shifty/infuriating as Willie Snead. He'd be competing to be the #4, but instead of the Saints spending $600k on a #4, they'd be spending a couple million.
I guess you would look at him like a used car with the bumper falling off. He already has a superbowl and will probably look for the money coming off of the two injuries. I'd pass.
Not to mention, I'm sure there are much more appealing options for Cruz out there. If I were him, I wouldn't want to compete with Thomas, Cooks, or Snead. I'd find another team where I get a better shot at playing time.
Are you thinking of Hakeem Nicks?
