I think it's a good signing plenty of fire power for Brees and Peyton.

Think we did at the same time sorry.

No worries

Mods, can you merge the two Dez Bryant threads?

And I agree. Brees has a ton of weapons now. This is the last team I would want to face in the SB.

He knows some of the Payton offense already.
It will suck for the Saints if they lose a playoff game because he drops a pass or runs a wrong route.

I dunno if the saints would have been my first choice. Not because the saints are bad, but because they seem pretty set on offense, so his opportunities are going to be pretty low. If he struggles to get on the field, it's going to look pretty bad, their #1-2 WR are set so he's looking at best at #3 in terms of targets.

It seems an odd choice for one of the offenses that I most associate with precise timing and route running, with Brees regularly throwing to a spot before the receiver even makes the break.

I'm still not convinced he's more than a borderline starter at this point but I would also not be at all surprised if he's a stud for them.

Saints play at Cowboys Nov 29!

He’s going to an offense where Payton and Brees will make sure he gets the ball. He doesn’t have to be a number 1 WR there

This bodes well for Michael Thomas in fantasy leagues. Now in the red zone...everybody will be worried about Bryant and Kamara...and Thomas can pick up some easy TD's!

Everyone will be worried about Bryant over Thomas? That's a nice fantasy...

Saints have done well with WR's period!

The washed-up, locker room cancer market just got thinner.

I'm looking for Payton to use him in a manner similar to how he used to use Graham.

I don't see how anyone can call this a bad move by the Saints.

If the Patriots signed Dez I think many fans here would be excited about the potential upside and rightly so.

Their offense is great without him, but if he can get 50 yards per game it’s a win for NO.

 

[Joey007]

Regardless of this move, I think the Saints are one really really dangerous team.

Eh, not really. He’d be a bad fit here. He’s a much better fit in Payton’s offense.

I predict he will be dnp-coaches decision at least once by the end of the year.
