re: Saints sign WR Brock Rechsteiner from weekend try-out

Dan was arguing before the draft that we didn't need to draft WR early because we had Polk as our third WR, and that the Saints clearly were going to let this affect their draft strategy. Literal argument he was making
The Saints then went ahead and drafted a guy in the 1st, and then for good measure, drafted TWO MORE WRs. And then brought in the most of any position in minicamp tryouts and signed one
The guy is in deep. Polk will need to put on a gold jacket at the end of his career at this point for him to be vindicated

That's a pretty fricked up summary. The argument was drafting a WR in the 1st vs 2nd rd and the value of a high end defender vs WR in the 1st.
It wasn't "because" we had Polk as our #3 and I always viewed that WR in the 1st/ 2nd above Polk.
Unless you don't consider the 2nd rd "early" this is bullshite. Thanks for ignoring my valid argument and trying to exaggerate my point.
I always saw Polk as the #4 behind whatever WR we drafted early and mainly expressed the fact that he could be better than Vele.
Drafting Lance in the 4th who ranked 7th out of 3,844 wide receivers from 1987 to 2026 in RAS was a surprise to everyone and I haven't once tried to put Polk above him.
So again this is absolute bullshite. Its more of the fact that y'all hate/ doubt Polk so much that it makes me look like a fan boy.

i think nobody argued that a WR was going to get drafted, more about timing and how high.
the consensus i thought was some were more comfortable with Polk and Rookie WR fighting out the 3/4 spots among a few others for that 5th or 6th spot.
We can be happy we added 2 legit roster guys but it doesn't immediately discount polk's opportunity to have a role on this roster.

You are literally full of shite. Would you like to answer my question in regards to if we have ever cut a player that we traded for the same season?
Y'all hate so much that Polk will make the roster. To the point that it seems y'all want him to fail.
And prior to the draft Polk literally was our WR3 whether yall wanted to accept our other WR's were that bad or not.

You keep saying this but Polk has already been here for a season. There was no reason to do anything with him on IR
Draft capital is draft capital. Like we wouldn’t cut a guy equivalent to AT Perry’s 6th rd value (cut). Ian book (4th) cut. Ricky Leonard (4th) cut, AQ Muhammad (6th), Kikaha (2nd), Garret Grayson (3rd), SJB (2nd) and the list goes on. We cut Bradley Roby after spending a 3 and 6 on him. A 6th/7th swap does not protect Polk

Half way through the season while being out for the year doesn't count as "here for a season". Wtf.

Congratulations you just named a bunch of dudes who played atleast 1 full season on the roster.
Give me an example of 1 person that we traded for and cut before playing a single snap for us.
Literally begging for someone to prove me wrong here.

No one hates Polk making the team. You think he's our new #4 WR while the rest of us are waiting to see if he just makes the team.

There are no examples of swapping a 6th/7th for an injured WR who had 12 catches and less than 100 yards in the season. You proved your point!

I only said anything about Polk as WR3/ WR4 prior to the draft and have put Lance/ Tyson above him every single time since. I've been explaining why "making the team" is currently at 100% based on actual statistical evidence and historical data.
We don't trade for dudes and then cut them before they play a snap. I really don't know why that's crazy for some of you to understand.
We keep Polk > other guys in the last spot regardless because he cost more and would make it look like a bad move. If you don't expect him to play anyway then that is more reason to save face.
That's why I said unless Tipton, Palmer, etc legit look better than Olave/ Tyson theres less than a slim chance they get a spot over him.

Why the frick would we trade for a hurt player that couldn't even play and don't even intend to play him? Do y'all realize wtf you are saying? We keep him just to avoid those specific questions. We literally keep him > Palmer specifically to avoid that situation even if neither play meaningful snaps.

A second round pick and a seventh pick dumped for a 2027 6th rounder being a lock to make the Saints roster is just funny to me. The one sure thing is we are going to find out!

I don't understand what happened with Polk. He was one of the best receivers in college 2 years ago. He was the playmaker on that Husky National runner-up team. Does anyone have any thoughts about it?
Posted on 5/13/26 at 12:22 pm to Stamps74
SOMETIMES the media team asks the coaches for input, but most of the time they basically take the biggest names and put them further up. Coaches do not go to the media team and give them anything, and they do not give them an official depth chart as they have no clue where most of these guys are right now to even do so.
The first hint of an "official" "depth chart" comes in training camp as you see who starts with the 1s and so on, but even that doesn't always tell you the whole story.

You’re the only one who doesn’t get it. He was basically free to acquire, that’s a great move that affords you to see what you got. You don’t even know what you’re arguing anymore. Come back in August

He could not get separation and was bad at running routes his rookie year. For a rookie QB it is easy to abandon or lose trust in that person and choose other targets for their own sake and devlopmemt. That's pretty much exactly what happened.
But the Patriots were an absolute shite show from play calling to scheming to OL play so there's absolutely no telling how bad the situation was vs Polk's potential.
Polk was not fortunate enough to play on a competent SB contending Patriots in order to fairly evaluate if he was just that bad or if the system played a part in his failures.
So now he gets a chance to prove otherwise even though according to Saints fan he has already had this opportunity, we've seen enough to evaluate his career, and we will cut him before he plays a snap.
And the Saints will cut a player they traded for before playing a single snap for the first time in history because that's a more logical opinion than believing he makes the roster.
Also just read that the Saints/ Mickey Loomis were actually very high on Polk and infatuated with him for the 2024 draft.

He had a "underwhelming" 24 with 87 yards receiving and hurt shoulder end of season. Shows up to camp in 25 and is "underwhelming" again. Football mentality is questioned. Then hurts shoulder again. Traded to Saints. Patriot websites say mostly the same.

I'd say he has a 141 2/3 chance of making the team
Posted on 5/13/26 at 2:48 pm to Chad504boy
The haters being Polk’s impact on the field, inability to separate, PFF, the Patriots, Mike Vrabel
Can only call it like ya see it. There’s no need for nonsensical, retard tigerdroppings logic to paint this guy as an asset when everything suggests otherwise
