Well, this won't help Saints receivers on the open market. Brees is the system and the WRs are just here for the ride.

He was a good WR3 when he was with NO.

The worst part about that is he's due about $5 million whether they cut him or not. So basically they are paying him not to play.

Can Meachum play Jack LB?

No
He was a bust for a first rounder, just like the majority of first rounders drafted by the saints

Cam Jordan would like a word with you.
And hopefully Ingram and Vaccaro after this year.

Ok Cam Jordan is worthy of first round , that's about it from a non black and gold glasses

The ultimate indictment IMO. Have read that he seems to be broken down physically.
add:
Chargers WR Robert Meachem suffered a concussion in Thursday night's preseason finale. -per rotoworld

Except that's not what Meachem being cut says. He has been devastated with injuries. The Chargers overpaid for him one way or the other but this is no indictment of the Saints receivers by any means.

Wow, your definition of bust is definitely out of whack. A bust is Sed Ellis. Did Meachem live up to his draft position? No, but he was a valuable player while he was here. The fact was his speed is what opened up the field for us in 2009 and his ballsy attitude saved us from losing to Washington. He had 9 regular season touchdowns too, and was one of the players that helped keep Brees' record drive alive. Promptly remove your cranium from your rectum.

When isn't he hurt?
He had his own personalized stationary bicycle when he was here.

His legacy here is making one of the top 10 plays in Saints history IMO

"Dead Money" contracts are a great indicator of how good NFL front offices are.
Going into the 2013 NFL season dead money
1. OAKLAND: $26,601,452
Richard Seymour represents half of that number at $13,714,000, and the recently released Darrius Heyward-Bey is a healthy chunk at $5,260,000. If you're wondering why the Raiders are in the state they're in, consider they drafted Heyward-Bey with their 2009 first round pick and they traded their 2011 first round pick for Seymour. (Also, that little thing about drafting JaMarcus Russell first overall in 2007. That, too.)
2. JACKSONVILLE: $24,012,892
The Jags "dead money" ledger reads like a "Who's who" in shitty Jaguar business decisions: wide receiver Laurent Robinson (cut after one season, $9,000,000 hit), safety Dawan Landry (cut after two sesaons $3,900,000 hit), linebacker Clint Session (cut after two seasons $3,600,000 hit), Mike Thomas (traded to Detroit one season into a long term extension, $3,600,000 hit). There's a reason they're so terrible. Actually, there are a thousand reasons, this just happens to be one of them.
3. KANSAS CITY: $13,326,323
Two biggest "dead money" hits here are quarterback Matt Cassel ($3,950,000) and tackle Eric Winston ($3,000,000), who were both at the center of the whole "cheering for Cassel getting hurt" controversy. I guess they don't have to worry about that anymore.
5. ATLANTA: $11,513,432
Ray Edwards was released in November due to a poor attitude. At a "dead money" hit of $4,650,000, he must have been a total fricking a-hole. The great purge of March 2013 hits their cap this fall, too, in cornerback Dunta Robinson ($3,000,000), running back Michael Turner ($2,000,000), and defensive end John Abraham ($1,500,000).
28. NEW ORLEANS: $1,170,190
29. SEATTLE: $1,057,668
30. SAN DIEGO: $1,019,422
31. SAN FRANCISCO: $957,674
32. GREEN BAY: $121,297
