Jordan Matthews. This year has been an anomaly, otherwise he’s found success in Chip Kelly’s offense. He would compliment Thomas well. I like Richardson a lot too

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

I think Sammy Watkins and Jarvis Landry would be great pickups.

Landry will excel playing the role Snead plays....Watkins can take Coleman role

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

.need to consider run blocking ability as well,


This times 100%. Without looking up snap counts in Peyton's offense the number 2 and 3 receiver I would imagine don't play as many snaps as they would on other teams (think about how often the Saints run multiple TEs), so blocking is even more important to keep the offense in balance.

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

Paul Richardson
Brice butler is sneaky good and he said he's not going back to the cowboys unless he is guaranteed to start.

Paul Richardson would be perfect and we could afford.

And Albert Wilson is pooh.

Allen Robinson is going to go somewhere else for a lot of dinero

I would love to see Jeff Janis or Brice Butler signed to a cheap deal. Both have great size and athleticism with deep speed.

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).

I don’t think the targets thing would be as much of an issue for Landry as money. The guy wants WR1 money and I’m sorry to say he shouldn’t get it, especially not here.

There's really no reason to cut Snead. Just tender him as an UDFA and he'll be cheap. He blew his chance at a big extension this year.

Landry is a pipe dream imo. He's going to get paid big.

Mike Wallace seems repetitive with Ginn and he's boys with Lewis, so I doubt it happens.

Jordan Matthews is intriguing and I think he'd so well with Brees.

Really though, what the team needs is a decent TE and Snead to rebound and we'd be fine.

Lee has had a quiet but solid season. I'd take him.
