re: Jarvis Landry To The Saints?

Does his college and NFL production not substantiate his worth?

No. How do you not get this? You don’t pay $10M or more (probably far more) for a no.2 WR who probably is not going to put up more than 1200 yards at the very most. ESPECIALLY when we have needs on defense. WE NEED DEFENSE. Jordan was still our only consistent pass rusher last year.

You sign him then you have less money to sign players on defense AS WELL as resigning players like Okafor and Brees. You can get another receiver for a third of the cost who will probably up 700-800 yards on this offense.

Not to mention we’ll have to give Thomas a big arse contract in a few years too.

I want to sign him on if we had substantial cap space or if he was going for way less but neither of that is true. You guys are overestimating his value. Again pretty good player but he isn’t an A.J. Green or OBJ.

Think of it this way, we will have one of the best Offensive Lines in the NFL next season. We will have an awesome 1-2 punch with Ingram and Kamara in the running game.

Now what team would be able to cover a deep threat in Ginn and Thomas and Jarvis working underneath with the threat of a screen pass at anytime to Ingram or Kamara.

No team in the NFL would be able to defend this offense.
So I say make it happen. Sign Jarvis. Maybe Drew will agree to a lesser contract to make the signing of Jarvis possible.

I for one definitely don't

Jarvis is not worth number one wide receiver money period. Mike is better and more dynamic. If we were paying 12-14 m for someone other than Thomas they sure as hell better be able to get down the field a bit as well....hell they better be a clear cut top 10 threat.

Landry is a great player and would be a big addition.

That being said, there are some WR hungry teams flush with cap space that are going to give him insane money. I don’t think he would make enough of a difference in our offense to drop insane money on him. We need to wait out the initial wave of WRs, it’s deep enough that there will be good players to be had at decent contracts.

If we make a move on a big name WR, id try to move a mid round pick or two for Josh Gordon. Maybe a fourth and second fourth or third based on production/behavior.

More than likely unless he is just itching to play with Brees and the Saints for a couple of years. Fingers crossed of course.

I don't really give a shite about the money. How much were we just paying Fleener who didn't show close to what Landry has?

We don't have to pay Thomas elite money for another two years. As long as she potential deal with Landry gave us the option to bail after those two years.

People get all worked about monopoly money when Loomis has signed whoever we've wanted.

You liked the Fleener signing, ya frickin frick

At the time? Sure. I thought he'd step right in and be productive considering how much we use the TE in the passing game. But he's been a major disappointment

look how many punt he took back for TD in his short career

He has one punt return TD while averaging 9 yds/PR. Also 27 yds/KR with 0 KR TDs. Doesn’t bring up his value by several million.
