this bc it's not as if the Saints are going to be a near contender. If they were near contender status, I'd say take him.

That's why I'm not totally jonesing for us to sign him.

But, I'd give the Saints a 15% chance of being a legit contender. It's a big if, but IF our secondary stays healthy, Byrd returns to form (he's not old or anything), and Rankins plays well as a rookie, we could have an above average defense.

IF our guards hold up, Thomas plays well as a rookie, and Cooks and Snead progress a bit, we could have a top 3 offense. Not just top 3 in total yards or some shite, but a legit top 3 offense.

So, I'd say sign him up, even though odds are it won't make a difference. He's not with a team right now. He'd probably take the vet min, which essentially has no effect on our cap. If Onyemata or Tull or someone like that tears shite up in the preseason/training camp, then keep one less TE/FB type player or only go with 4 WR. If not, IR them for a sprained finger.
