If its cheap, the potential is still there

I wanted us to get him coming out of college, but we nabbed cooks. He took a few years, but he's growing into a very solid receiver.

Wouldn't break the bank either IMHO

Paul Richardson WR SEA $1,178,209 UFA -



Is my favorite to become a #2 receiver. Marvin Jones became a solid #2 for Detroit and I think Richardson can easily become a solid #2 who complements Thomas and an aging Ginn perfectly.

Ginn is a solid deep threat, but he's showing he has good hands this year and taken over the snead role perfectly

Paul Richardson FTMFW!

We'll get one in the first 3 rounds of the draft, we always do.


Not with only a 1st and a 3rd.

I would fricking cry tears of joy if we signed Jarvis Landry. Him, Thomas, and Ginn would be unstoppable with Drew.

Wouldnt be against a big splash like Allen Robison or Sammy watkins

But Albert Wilson, Pryor, Jordan Matthews, or Brice Butler would suffice.

Would love AR. I know he had an ACL but other than that hes been healthy, unlike watkins, and Should be cheaper than Jarvis. I'd absolutely give him a 4 year deal if affordable

So many guys on that list that would have career years with Brees as their QB...need to consider run blocking ability as well, not sure who on that list would be solid at that.

I like Landry, obviously being from LSU. The dude is a beast. Catches everything. I also like Amendola from New England. A very cerebral guy and a Super Bowl Champion! Brees would have another weapon to move the chains on 3rd downs. I think the team will release Sneed rather than give him a lucrative extension (he should have signed before the DUI), so replacing him with Amendola or Landry and adding a stud TE would make the offense unstoppable!

Any of those. Out of those I would have ARob, Juice, and Pryor as my top 3.

IMO we need to find someone who we believe can make plays out of the slot on 3rd down

I'd love Jarvis Landry, but no way we can afford him. Moncrief or Marquis Lee would be great options for WR3

Paul Richardson. He's a great number 2 opposite Baldwin. And can run back kicks. Put him and Kamara back there.

Jarvis Landry WR MIA $868,728 UFA - Slot, upgrade from Snead, Great Route Runner always open, Special Teams Beast, Drew could make him great

Ryan Grant WR WAS $608,403 UFA - Slot, upgrade from Snead, Speed, Roleplayer not sure about his special team skills

Terrelle Pryor WR WAS $6,000,000 UFA - Great Size, Athletic, Good Speed, Better version of Colston, about to hit his prime

Sammy Watkins WR LA $4,983,901 UFA - Good Size, Red Zone Threat, Don't overpay though not that productive

Allen Robinson WR JAC $877,718 UFA - Extremely productive with Bortles as his QB, Brees could make him another Meachem, Moore, Colston
In no particular order

I would love to have Jarvis in NOLA. I just don't see enough targets for him to stay happy here. He's a target machine in MIA, avg 142 targets a season. This year, the WRs were targets 286x's (Thomas receiving 149 of those) That leaves 137 for the other 4 wrs to split some way. This isnt including Kamara's 100, Ingrams 71, and the TE's 63 targets.

If Jarvis is willing to take not only a pay cut (Saints aren't forking over $10+ mil a year for a FA WR when they'll have to worry about Thomas and others contracts in the future) and a target cut. I can see him coming here.

This is why Cooks was shipped out, he was never going to see enough targets to warrant the $10+ mil he was/is going to be asking for. Mike Thomas is our #1 and he will be paid/fed accordingly.

I would target Paul Richardson or Allen Robinson (at a bargain).

Crazy to think Brees had the year he had with only two decent WRs.

6 guys that Brees could make into a pro bowler on that list at least.

We should add one or two. Spend a little dough on one and bring one in for competition at lower cost. We need at least 1 impact WR added.

I really don't see the point in targeting a lower end WR in free agency. Coleman & Snead can be retained for cheap & both of them can block. I'd rather sign one of the top guys or just use the draft & bank on our returning WR's.

Top 7 targets - Market Value in quotes
-Jarvis Landry (14.1 mil)
-Allen Robinson
-Sammy Watkins (9.2 mil)
-Jordan Mathews (8.8 mil)
-Marquise Lee (8.7 mil)
-Terrelle Pryor
-Paul Richardson (6.4 mil)

Landry & Robinson are way too much money (keep in mind, we have to pay Mike Thomas in about 2 years). Watkins, Mathews, & Marquise Lee are good options, but I think that's too much money to commit in players that all have legit bust concerns.

Pryor got 6 mil last year & he might not have much leverage as far as asking price. I'd take him for a bargain price. Paul Richardson would easily be my #1 target.

Richardson, Pryor (if the price is right), or wait until the draft (1st or 3rd round) imo.
