What about FA WR Terrace Marshall?

[oysters]

He's 6'2", 200 lbs. Runs a 4.40. I know he isn't great but is he a big enough receiver to get the tough over the middle catches? We need a big dude IMO

He sucks. That's why no one has signed him.

He's just another Denzel Mims. Add him to the pile of big bodied WR athletes that failed in the NFL that fans tell themselves 'just need a change of scenery'

I'm 6'2" 200 lbs. I don't think of myself as a "big dude" so I'd say if we're looking for a tough "big dude" for over the middle, look elsewhere. It's not like he's stood out so far, and I just don't see 6'2", 200 lbs as a big WR. I'd like 6'4" 245-250 or 6'1"or 2"-ish but about 2&1/2 feet wide at the shoulders and muscled up to 220-230 to call a guy a "big dude" at WR.

Haha! Ok. Well that definitely answers my question

Well…..when your roster is loaded with <6’ less than 200 lb guys anyone over that height and weight seems like “big dude”. The Saints roster is loaded with small, thin, fast guys.

I’m 6’3” 250, I’ll take the spot. Vet minimum is fine as money isn’t my thing. .

Oh and I’ve got those mountainous shoulders too.

I try to provide a service.

I want him to succeed, he's from this area. However, he hasn't shown much of an ability to get open. He runs sloppy routes, always has. In college, his speed allowed him to overcome that, but it doesn't in the NFL. It was one of the knocks on him in the draft.

He would be somewhat of a reclamation project, because it's technique that can be taught that's the weak spot in his game.

I would love to have him try to grow as a Saint. We have room in the WR room for a development guy.

 

[sfidc3]

He's got the size and athletic ability but hasn't really worked to improve, he could have been good to great, he just hasn't....maybe on a vet min prove it deal but if he weren't an former LSU player he probably wouldn't be mentioned on this board....

When it comes down to it, most teams don't have room for 'development guys'. Rosters are tight and those on it have to be functional contributors.

That's why fans bemoan 'high potential' players being released come cut down day, while the truth is that most of them never catch on for good reason.

You're not wrong, but he may be a better bottom of the roster guy than what we have. While he can't run the whole route tree well, his quickness and size makes him an ideal slot guy running a slant on a 3rd and 5-7. That's been a hole in our offense for a bit. Maybe Moore and his staff could coach him up to his potential.

I just think his floor is at least as high as the guys at the bottom of our roster.

Again that just sounds like falling victim to the physical profile fallacy. Size and quickness can be had in abundance in the NFL, it nether demands nor merits automatic inclusion on a roster.

But this one went to LSU

For PS? Sure.
