re: Benjamin Watson agrees to 1 yr deal with Saints

Yeah we'll definitely get at least one FA WR, if not 2 (or 3 if Snead bolts).
And I know Payton said pass rusher is a must, but he's said that every year since cutting Galette and they seem unwilling to reach for one in the draft (though if the value is there they'll take one), and unwilling to overspend on one in FA.
It was a must last year and we addressed it by signing Okafor for only $2 mil (which turned out to be a steal), and drafting Hendrickson in the third and Muhammad in the sixth.
We resigned Okafor, and I know he said that doesn't address it but I don't see us breaking status quo and overspending on one in FA. And if we don't like the value on one at 27 it may be yet another year of putting it off.

Think getting Watson means we’re going to definitely draft one. Can learn under Fleener And Watson. Hopefully Gesicki or Fumigalli or Goedert if the pick is right.

Watson is better and more productive than any of those guys
He had 61/500+ on a shitty team with a mediocre QB last year.

Yeah he was pretty good last year. I get it. I just don't know where he fits. Who are you gonna cut? Or are you gonna carry 4 TEs? Because you're probably only getting 1 year from Watson.

I would be absolutely shocked if they don’t draft a TE. Like I feel very confident that they will

Meh signing.

Fleener post June 1st designation. He brings zero to the table. You had to keep him until you found another guy
Posted on 3/28/18 at 12:05 pm to GynoSandberg
Yeah fleener is definitely the odd man out
Posted on 3/28/18 at 12:06 pm to GynoSandberg
Bingo.
They will look to draft a guy. If they can’t get one of those guys, maybe they keep Fleener.

Hooman and hill cuts save more than fleener I think. Fleener is here 1 more year

Watson could easily replicate if not exceed what he put up last year in the ravens garbage offense.
Posted on 3/28/18 at 12:12 pm to Chad504boy
Fleener played 4 special teams snaps last season and 8 year before. You aren’t running his mush brain out there.
Hill played 141 and 167 ST snaps the past two seasons. Hooman 130 last year
At this point they are more valuable than fleener

I think they cut fleener and keep hill and Hooman for the moment.
They wouldn't have signed Watson if they felt good about keeping fleener.
They had to give him that 3 mil at the time cause they couldn't be stuck without him in case we got no tight end

he's probably getting a steal on Suh's house.
Still blows my mind Suh bought a house in NOLA and signed with the Rams... I Mean Frick what a commute!

It wouldn't suprise if Hooman is the only current TE on the roster.
Posted on 3/28/18 at 12:16 pm to JPLIII
now tell us all the Saints TE stats from last year

I have high hopes for Muhammad.
