Deadpulse Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Do we go with outside help? If we do, is it FA or trade? Right now we have Julian, Dola, and Mitchell out indefinitely and Hogan limp, Dorsett with a knee, and Rex with what sounds like a cracked rib, pass catchers are of limited supply. Brandon Cooks is our only 100% WR right now and he seems to not fit right now with Brady and this offense. What does everything think the next move should be? Does anyone have their eye out for someone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apparition Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Wait for the guys that are hurt to get healthy (Edelman notwithstanding, of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpulse Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 You think its a good idea to just wait it out with potentially 3 or less WR's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmurtry86 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Need to see what Amendola and Dorsett's status is for next week. Cutting Langi or Harris and adding a WR off the PS or someone who was in camp would be the obvious move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nextsuperstar1 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Could use Austin Carr right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saints only dressed 4 WR's today and Carr wasnt one of them. Some dude named Tommylee Lewis was instead. Guy had 8 career receptions before today.

lancerman Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Tbh we had a stacked WR corp and most of these guys will be healthy in 2-3 weeks. It's really not worth panicking right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you think the Pats were going to carry 6 WR (Amendola, Mitchell, Cooks, Hogan, Dorsett, Carr) coming out of camp which would have been awful roster management.

I dont understand why everyone is classifying a roster move for a WR as a panic move. There is a possibility, however slim, that one of Hogan/Dorsett can't go as well as Rex, who did a lot as a pass catcher before going down with a rib injury. Adding a WR from the PS or the FA pile seems more standard procedure than panic move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpulse Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Keshawn Martin is available, he could be a good roster depth guy who knows the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding a WR from the PS or the FA pile seems more standard procedure than panic move. I think they will if Gronk and one of Dorsett/Amendola can't go. It would be tough to go into a game with 2 TE and 3 WR active. They've done things like that before (go in extremely shorthanded at one position) if they think the situation will resolve itself in one week. But there's a few guys on the roster they probably could cut and not be heartbroken about if they got scooped up (Langi, Croston). But whoever they bring in is likely just a 1 week solution so you don't want to lose any depth, even a fringe player, for a 1 week move. If Fleming is healthy, they could use a jumbo TE package and flex Allen or Hollister out or put Lewis/White in the slot full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron_man Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Kenbrell Thompkins is available. Did you guys know his cousin is Antonio Brown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Wait on Amendola and Dorsett (have a feeling both will play). Hogan's knee didn't stop him from finishing the game. If all that comes to pass, it's just Edelman, Mitchell and Rex out. Which we can cope with. Have we still got Lucien in the PS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucien was impressive in the preseason, odds were just stacked against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
