So with all the talk about us drafting a WR, I'm trying to gauge a picture of our receivers next year. I'm not including TE's.

Stills
Colston (I think these two are obvious).
Moore
Joe Morgan
Drafted/free agent WR to be determined.

What are the odds we bring Meachem back? Is Moore a sure thing? With Stills and Morgan returning in all likelihood, what are our needs at WR?
I'm assuming Nick Toon and Andy Tanner are gone.

Stills and Colston are the only two assured of a roster spot. Anything we get out of Morgan is lagniappe IMO.

Moore will either be cut or have to take a substantial salary cut to remain with us.

I can see Meachem getting a vet min deal, but ultimately getting cut during training camp.

I'm hoping we draft a WR in rd 1-2 and sign a cheap FA like Kenny Britt. We really need a major overhaul at this position.

some really good free agents available. id prefer to use draft picks on other positions instead of wr. those guys can take years to pan out.

I'd like to keep Moore if possible. He's sure handed and reliable and has great chemistry with Brees.

Toon was a colossal disappointment.

Perhaps this is the year we let Moore go and put Andy on the 53?

i see this happening. although, moore could very easily restructure. i think he knows he holds no big name value anywhere and would probably bust out like big meach.

but his cap space could be a big help on the line. itll be an interesting offseason for sure.

I we cut both Sproles and PT like many on Saints Talk are begging for then we certainly need to upgrade this Receiving Corps.

I think Stills is lance's replacement. Morgan takes over the deep threat role and we draft a WR.

Morgan seems more of a like for like replacement for Meachem, at least on the routes they run. If we lose Meachem someone will need to step up and be the receiver who blocks in the running game.

I really think Moore may be gone. I forgot he was even on the team this year for long stretches.

Tanner should replace Moore. Dude is a slot receiver who doesn't get open anymore.

If we lose Meachem, we do we get to run Payton's patented end around on 3rd and short?
