Wonder if designated june 1st. Difference of saving 4 mill or 6 mill.

Malcolm Brown
Trequan Smith are on notice maybe.

Strong WR draft this year lessens blow. Need MT13 to carry passing attack

If Harris stays healthy he could take over sanders’ role.

We should try to do a 2-3 year extension on Jack Rabbit.

Jeez! I hate to see him go, but we have Callaway who was great last year. Trequan is on the last year of his rookie contract so you hope he balls out this year. Harris is a good deep threat but durability is his big concern. Wonder if we bring Fowler back?

Also, you have MT13, Kamara and Trautman to throw too.

Sanders was a great luxury, but I guess he’s just not meant to be on the team this year. Kinda sucks.

Trequan also seemed to figure it out a bit and Calloway looks legit. Should be fine.

Not too upset about this. Getting older, definitely looked less explosive this past year than he did the year before

He would be our #4 receiver next year

1-Thomas
2-Harris
3-Smith-blocking is too important
4-Sanders

Seems like the first real cap casualty. Hopefully Callaway continues to grow towards being a true #2.

Just wait until the Saints have a QB who can throw it 50 yards again. Harris is going to explode

His durability is an issue and his skillset as a punt returner is very important. He'll be a part of the offense but it's difficult to see him being a workhorse.

Could see him coming back on a cheaper deal but even if that happens we are going to get a solid WR in the draft more than likely! Also there are a few FA we could go after that won’t be too expensive

Kadarius Toney in the 1st round would be a good pick if available. Terrace Marshall or Rondale Moore would still be a good choice in 2nd.

Poor dude is on the Brandon Cooks path now

He wasn’t as much of a difference maker as we needed (but it didn’t help not having 100% MT and noodle arm Brees out there). His time here should have been better

Frustrating that he torched us playing for SF
