TheKillerNacho Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 https://www.rotoworld.com/football/nfl/player/12414/rishard-matthews After a bizarre year were he quit on the Titans after only three games, eventually being traded to the Jets and doing nothing there either. If healthy, he may be able to come in and be a contributor. He had a total of 1,740 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns over the course of the two previous seasons with the Titans. Update: He was released by the team with a "Left team" designation, then decided to announce his retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWATcha Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 WR depth is never a bad thing for the Saints. The kid has some talent, and Brees has made players with less talent than him look good. Hopefully he can keep his head right and come in and contribute. With Meredith still not healthy from his knee injury (and most likely going to be released), I could see Matthews getting a shot to make the roster.

RuskieTitan Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Toxic player. Surprised anyone would bring him into their locker room after he just quit on the Titans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 He felt disrespected by the Titans and now he is disrespected by the entire league on merit. He had about 12 to 13 million waiting for him in 2018 and 2019 with Tennessee. He made about 1.5 last year and probably signed for vet minimum in New Orleans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and all because we brought him back slow from injury to ensure he was fully healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's a culture thing, and of course, time will tell. Some people just need a change in their surroundings, regardless of whether they're a "good" or "bad" person.

tom cody Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 If he can't turn things around with the Saints and their good passing game he won't be able to turn it around anywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say there’s about a zero percent chance he messes with the Saints chemistry regardless, so I don’t see it as a huge issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KManX89 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 If the Saints can't keep him in check, he's as good as done in the NFL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsthomp2007 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I think he is one of the more underrated receivers...I keep getting him on fantasy and it's tough to take him out sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Rishard Matthews cut by team with a “left squad” designation. He quit on the Saints and unless they remove that designation from his release it is my understanding that he cannot play for another team until his contract is up. Not that anyone wants him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
