How is it that this guy had a whole press conference held for him and these are the only quotes that came out of it? :ROFLMAO:

Wilson couldn’t even get a video clip of his FA signing presser 😂

Looks like they’re highlighting a key quote of him wanting to be a Saint. Fans think no one wants to be here yet we have a key depth guy that’s attracted to the scheme fit in the new OC’s offense. He’ll be one of many additions who’ll be interested in signing because of scheme

Yeah it was a bit of a surprise to me to hear him specify that we are running the Miami offense.

I know that Mike McDaniels is cut from the same Shanahan tree that Kubiak spent time with, but the way they do things is slightly different. I view the Miami offense in a different fashion that SF's. It's a bit more "exotic."

Miami is the most innovative offense in the league in my eyes, so I will be very excited if we run McDaniels' style of the Shanahan offense.

Not sure if maybe he was simply referring to the verbiage and base concepts though.

Wow, what a bargain.

We are really getting a lot of bang for our buck here potentially. Outstanding find by the brain trust on Airline Dr.

Very interesting that we pushed the additional money into the future with a void year on such a cheap deal.

I think the 500K void year was added so that Wilson could have a lower cap hit in year 1 at 1.85M. Without it, 2024 cap hit would probably be around 2.85M. Pushing the 1M gives the team more cap flexibility this year.

His guarantees looks like he’s entrenched on the WR depth chart as of now. Olave/Shaheed/Perry/Wilson looks to be the WR roster locks. Next significant WR addition will probably be a draft pick or another cheaper FA vet like Renfrow.

It's interesting because I figured Renfrow was a near lock signing as soon as released but there isn't a ton of room on this depth chart.

He comes in and he's fighting for #3 or would need either an injury to Olave/Shaheed or total absence of viable TE play to get lots of touches.

Where does Renfrow fit in a Shanahan/Kubiak style offense? I'm not sure he fits the new scheme.
 
With the Saints giving Wilson a $2.85 million guaranteed salary for 2024 they didn't do so with the idea he would be a camp body competing for a position. Barring injury, he will be on the Saints 53 man roster this year.

The Saints may still bring in a free agent WR or draft a WR. They could keep as many as 6 WRs on the 53 man roster. As of today the depth chart looks like this:

1. Olave
2. Shaheed
3. Wilson
4. Perry
5. F/A-Draft
6. Morgan?
 
Great signing! Only 3M!

We didn’t have a #3 WR for most of last year. MT was injured. ATP had rookie mistakes. Bowden was a blocker. Kirkwood and Morgan are #5/6 guys.

I think we found our big slot. Wilson, 6.88 RAS, is more athletic than Renfrow, 2.94.

I can see Wilson giving us 400-500 much needed yards this season.
