O/U 3.5 days until we hear that MT still isn't healthy and suffered a setback

This is interesting: ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the New Orleans Saints are hosting wide receiver James Washington on a free agent visit Monday, following their weekend-long rookie minicamp. He’s a former second-round draft pick out of Oklahoma State, listed at 6-foot-0 and 205 pounds.
Washington signed with the Dallas Cowboys last year after a productive run with the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2018 to 2021, but a preseason foot injury limited him to just two games; he was released on Jan. 4 and ended the year with the New York Giants practice squad.
Now healthy, the 27-year-old could be a good fit. The Saints have added veteran receivers this offseason like Bryan Edwards (a former favorite target of Derek Carr) and rookies A.T. Perry (Wake Forest), Shaquan Davis (South Carolina State), Sy Barnett (Davenport), and Malik Flowers (Montana), but there’s room for more competition in training camp.
If the price is right for Washington, he could enter the mix and push guys like Tre’Quan Smith, Keith Kirkwood, Kirk Merritt, and Kawaan Baker for the spots they held on the roster and practice squad last season. His deal with the Cowboys last year totaled $1.035 million with $895,000 guaranteed.

Thank you!

I'm sure this has nothing to do with Thomas.
People act like if Thomas gets injured James Washington would give you the same production
I actually like this move on it's own.
Even if olave and Shaheed up their performance, you want another proven vet. Washington has a much higher upside than Bryan edwards.

I have a feeling we will not hear this this year..."well Traquan is on the team...and a very good blocker."

No one player could, but if this team loses MT they will replace that production by committee.

Heck yeah, sign em up. This offense is shaping up nicely already, but this will give another quality piece

we definitely need help, but its hard to imagine the steelers and dallas are so stacked at WR, that they can just release a perfectly good WR like that.
there must be a reason he was cut loose?

Did you miss the part that he was injured for all but two games last year?

He fell further down the depth chart every year with PIT and graded out as one of the worst WR in the league during his time there. There’s a reason he doesn’t have a guaranteed spot on anyone’s depth chart, I reckon

hopefully he is good enough to make the roster
his history is concerning enough that for now, he is a camp body that must earn a spot
