I had just hoped the saints had learned to chill with the overpriced free agents. Oh well

@LarryHolder: Is Coby Fleener a WR or TE? Asking for a friend who likes to fly planes.

The lack of excitement on here makes me think he'll be a pro bowler



People on here were jizzing everywhere over Byrd and Browner

Wtf has Fleener done to get $36m

Oh, Loomis



I think Fleener will do very well. But, the bigger issue is that this past year has shown that any decent TE will thrive in this offense. This team's success will be determined by how well it allocates the money that it has available...in large part because of how poorly it has done that in recent past.

Tight End is one of the positions that we really could get away with not spending money on, IMO.

Dude had almost 1400 yards and 12 TDs while sharing duties with Allen in Indy over 13 and14

He's gonna break out here where he's more of a focus

That's a lot for him but that's what the deal is this offseason.

He has the upside to be a star in this offense. I'm interested to see the real numbers on this contract.

That's the problem here. We're paying for future production apparently cause he hasn't done dick in indy. Terrible catch rate in a pass happy offense.

I love the comments on here about him being overpriced. Are you seeing the money being thrown around this free agency? This is nothing

Woof. Guess we're contempt starting John Jenkins, Bobby Richardson and whoever is replacing Kevin Williams.

That's my point. Nothing against Fleener as a player. I just think the Saints probably outbid themselves. Just too much to pay for a position that isn't crucial to winning.

TE is critical and he is way more vertical than Watson plus has better length in red zone

Great signing. The money isn't that big of deal considering the deals that were made today..

Yeah cause Coby fricking Fleener is in the same class as Jenkins, Trevathan, Jackson, Vernon, etc. STFU. 7 mil a year is horrible for him

And a whopping 400 yards and 3 touchdowns last season.
