Which remaining FA Wide Receiver would you prefer? 2025 FA (8 Viewers)

[Snakehead]

Dude just makes anyone looks good. He is a true STUD!!!

Anyone except Caleb Williams.

I get it, but he still had 70 catches for 744 yards last year which would have made him by far #1 in receiving yards on the Saints. He's not a great player anymore but we could really use 70 catches and 700 yards on this team. Especially from a guy that can play the X. I wouldn't go past one year, but it would be a good signing on a one year deal.

I would much rather roll with our current young guys + draft than kick the tires on a washed veteran.

I think you can do both. It's not like we really have any options at X beyond Means who was only a 5th round pick and you never know if the draft if going to fall right so I'd rather have the hole filled rather than being forced to reach for that type of WR.

Having matched a good bit of Keenan last year... he is not a good player at this point in his career.

Been trying to write him off but he keeps surprising. 2023, his last season with LAC he had over 1200 yards and 7 TDs. I get that it's two years ago, but I don't see how anyone can so definitively reject him. He's not Keenan of old, but he's still producing.

I guess so. Im team "don't spend every dollar just to win 7-9 games" which IMO is a Keenan Allen move.

Allen.
None really but if they have to sign one it’s Allen for me.

Keenan Allen predicted to ditch Chicago to join NFC West squad | Sporting News

The Chicago Bears acquired Keenan Allen from the Los Angeles Chargers last offseason. The trade did not yield the results the Bears wanted and Allen now remains unsigned as a free agent.

If it's just a one year deal it won't hurt the cap next year barring them adding void years. And they have like $32 million in cap space so there would still be plenty left over.

I mean you dont want to overpay, but Keenan Allen is the WR that immediatly improves our offense the most. He's not a long term solution, so you definitely draft a receiver if you can.

Signing allen doesnt keep you from drafting a WR. It just keeps you from having to draft a WR.

 

[srcampbell]

That actually isn’t a horrible list. Diggs was on his way to a solid season prior to injury. Allen would be the best fit for us imho.

Keenan Allen was paid $23M by the Bears last year, the last of a 4-year deal.

Yes, he won't be making $23M in 2025, but I would think he's in no hurry to figure out his next team or his next contract. You would think he would prioritize a team more stable at QB, after spending last year with the rookie QB and the sacks in Chicago.

We can envision him as an elder statesman, mentor and a security blanket possession receiver. But that's a luxury the Saints probably can't just take on this year, the way they brought in Emmanuel Sanders for Drew.

I don't think Loomis is done spending, but there's just not a veteran player currently who seems worthy of the overcooked AAV, or a roster spot that could go to a rookie contributor.

I want to assume that Moore and the new coach and staff energy will be more laser-focused on getting their picks developing and playing, more than in the past many years.

Free agency does have a summer period, and an injury contingency period during camp and preseason. The guys who wait to sign you may be able to get them later in the offseason at a lower price, and perhaps as the one-year rental that may be common ground for team and player.

If no more big cap money is spent, even as late as the November trade deadline, than the money can roll over to help pay 2026 dead money, which I would think would free up money and assure two $10M+ free agent signings a year from now, during the spring.

 

[SWJJ]

Everyone on that list will be overpaid. Allen's best days are behind him and someone else will overpay.

I'd take a flier on a 6th or 7th rounds draft pick for cheap before I'd sign any of those guys for what they will get.

 

[strandedsaint]

Can we sign all of them!!!! and let training camp decide on who to keep! lol

 

[tim martin]

it’s a rough list but i think diontae. youngest talented player on the list and should be cheap.
