Marc Sessler ?@MarcSesslerNFL 13m13 minutes ago Payton says he and Brees had 'dialogue' about a 'free-agent receiver that I know he worked with at the Pro Bowl.' Hmmm.... #Saints

Kind of vague, as Brees has been to many Pro Bowls. Couldn't have been this year as none of the are Free Agents. Going back a few years, the only thing that I can think of is Greg Jennings.

Just hope it's not Fitzgerald, he's in a very real decline.

None of those are, or were, Free Agents this year.

Those were WRs he worked with the last 2 pro bowls. just means its an older player from years back.

Jennings was awesome in Green Bay, right? Then he went to Minnesota where Christian Ponder flamed out big time. I wonder how much tread he has left on his tires. He seems like the best receiver in the most recent group listed in the thread. Miles Austin might be a possibility because of the Cowboys/Payton connection.

We just need a reliable short term 3 while we groom a rookie and have room for coleman and jones to comnpete.

I get that, but I was just referring to the quote that it is a current Free Agent that Brees has worked with at the Pro-Bowl previously.

I think Nicks and/or Crabtree would be fantastic in this offense. I can't believe we haven't snatched one of them up on a cheap one year deal at least.

I agree. Cheap 1-2 year deal. Some WR might take less money to be in this offense.
