Adam Schefter is reporting this on NFLN (no link yet.)


I know some here had expressed interest in him as a possible replacement for Gaffney. Looks like we can cross him off our lists.

That's actually not all that surprising. The Saints didn't have any receivers to speak of after Colston.

That's actually really disappointing, I was hoping the Patriots would express some interest in him. I felt that he was really the only receiver out there that could do what Gaffney did, and maybe even stretch the field more with his speed.

Wide receiver has clearly become a DIRE need. Unless of course, Sam Aiken looks like a viable option to start next to Moss on the outside of course.

Never really had that much interest in him. Pretty one-dimensional WR with bad hands.

His drop in the Colts game notwithstanding, Gaffney can actually run routes and catch balls. Henderson is a receiver in the Bethel Johnson mold - fast as lightning but no hands or route-running ability. The Patriots can do much better for their #3.

As much as I like the guy and the player, he wouldn't have been been a replacement for Gaffney.

There are more well-rounded WR's available, and I know the Saints were very high on Devery, so it isn't much of a letdown for me.

Not worth crying over.

There are plenty of "stretch the field" prospects who can be had on day 2 of the draft. Mike Wallace from Ole Miss is one, 6', 199#, 4.33 40. He may even be able to catch the ball. I'll take someone like him along with Furrey at this point.

There are also still plenty of WRs left in FA.

That's a bit strong.

DIRE?

We have two of the best WRs in the NFL on the team. Contrast that with ILB, MLB, S, CB, where we are currently inadequate. RB is a laundry list of guys, and TE isn't exactly a strength.

The next shut down corner we sign will be the first one on the team.

How easy is it to pick up a third WR in the draft with one of our second or third round picks? Compared to getting a first string corner, ILB or MLB?

I don't think we're all that worried about a #3 WR either, while a lot of us appreciated Gaffney and what he brought, I believe we had him signed for approx. 1.1 mill or so--I believe Denver more than doubled his salary (4 yrs/10 mill) Just about anyone will do just fine, it's not really a position of need IMO. This small problem will work out just fine

Saints fans seem to be happy they're keeping him. Several seem to think that one of their other receivers (RFA Lance Moore or Robert Meachem) may end up elsewhere.
