straight rumor lift from SR-

So my new job grants me access to information about which big name people (actors, athletes, CEOs) are coming to town. The company I work for has a contract w the NFL and the Saints.

Now I know it's not FA yet, and things can't officially happen, but I just learned that Dexter McCluster is on his was in town today and staying downtown. Maybe he's in town to be w friends and family. Maybe he's here to discuss B&G politics. Idk those details, but I am able to see when these guys come in town now.

No I'm not the janitor.

-----that's about as rumorish as I have ever posted. Still, with us discussing the future of Sproles, he is prolly one of the best FA replacements for that role I could imagine.

In 2013 he led the NFL in number of punt returns and yards- 58 @ 11.8 a pop, 2 for TDs. His receptions have gone up every year- 21, 46, 52, 52

Perhaps most important- only 25 going into next season.

The connect the dots lust for him is bad

Ehh...he's good for maybe 1-2 plays a game. Don't we have Morgan for that.

Way to risk your job for the board.


Also, I wouldn't mind having him. I don't think they use him right in KC.

You think he will be a Saint because he is visiting NOLA?

I wouldn't mind that at all, but this is pretty flimsy.

He is on my list as one of the top FA's that I want in Black and Gold.

I absolutely love this guy!

The Saints already have Joe Morgan. No need for McCluster

Yeah, and we didn't need Morgan this year because we had Kenny Stills.

If I had to choose, I'd choose Dexter.

Agreed, but just signing jimmy alone would suck up most of that though right?

Long term deals usually create cap space.

Want strongly. Dude would be an absolute perfect fit here. Adding him and another contributing WR either from the draft or FA and I think we're set with weapons.

How in the world do these two relate at all?

Now if he said "we already have sproles on a contract, we don't need McCluster" we can argue that. Joe Morgan =/= McCluster in skillset and usage

Would fill a need for a explosive playmaker on offence.
Trying to figure how to make the dollars work at this point is futile.
