Cap Numbers
Ginn - 3.0 mil

Coleman - 615k

That's some serious bang for our buck right there.

False. Receiving core is plenty good enough. Kamara (though listed as a RB) and Ginn are big additions to the passing and fill vital roles Payton's scheme. MT is definitely on his way to being as good as Colston (Probably will be a lot better) and Snead is a solid Lance Moore'esque WR.

Lulwut????

MT13 / NeedforSnead / Ginnandjuice are all the firepower we need.

You realize we run a lot of sets with one RB and one TE right?

If there is any area good to go on this squad right now its the receivers. If we can get the center and o.t. positions stabilized until Armstead and Unger are back, this Offense is going to be an Def. Coordinator's nightmare.

But seriously though, I hope we turn him into a slot receiver


Put the Madden controller down

Darren Sproles was seeing 100 targets a year. Kamara will be utilized enough as is

Probably a bad comparison though as Sproles was getting more catches than carries and split in the slot a good bit. I think Kamara does that some but not on that level.

I think Kamara's load will be split more like PT during his better receiving years (not to say he'll play like PT). First year may be lighter on carries due to AD.

Hoping Travin at least makes the practice squad and is the first WR to get called up in case of injury.

He was as good as Colston last year. He's gonna be a freak in this league. He's more sudden in his movements, runs a bit faster and makes better cuts, and is just a more passionate player.

We are fine at WR.

And some serious under rating of Colston.

He was the shite for a decade, with no diva garbage. He just came to ball.

One of my favorite Saints ever

Jimmy Graham if you count him as a receiver which he did receive passes

yeah, I got one for you - Josh Gordon. Imagine Brees throwing to Gordon, the records that would get made. Unfortunately, it will never happen. I think Cleveland would part with him for a first round pick, but dude loves his weed too much.
