Saints sign TE Foster Moreau (3 years, $12M, $8M gtd)

Hard not to cheer for this guy now. Should be an upgrade over Adam Trautman. With Juwan Johnson as our primary receiving threat at TE Moreau should be able to step in as a more well rounded #2 TE and utilize him more as an in line blocker.

I think that the Saints are just seeing this as an investment. It's a guy they really like as a person and see him being apart of the team, and clearly Carr has some input as well. Moreau is from New Orleans. Statistically he has a good prognosis, and the Saints are willing to sign him knowing that he needs to complete his treatments. I highly doubt he is currently in remission at this time, that would be soon.

I loved me some Foster prior to last yea, one of my fav Raiders. With Waller becoming a walking bandaid there was substantial opportunity for Foster to ball out and earn a big payday. However he was such a disappointment this season. He was such a JAG. I think he's a capable TE2 but if you are looking for anything more I think you'll be underwhelmed.

However I am truly pulling for the guy given his recent medicals. DC obviously was pounding the table for him too.

He has cancer and hasn't had enough time from diagnosis to now to have completed treatment. It's a noble signing to grant 2/3rd guarantees, but realistically they can't have "cleared" him. He has a great survival rate and everyone's rooting for him, but the treatment can still take a toll. He's from the area, played with the QB and slots well as a compliment to JJ as TE2/3. If they lose a bit of time to recovery and treatment he likely fits as a role player.

I'm sure they have a reasonable belief, but the unknowns just make me a bit surprised he wasn't in the "1 year prove it deal" category for teams.

To be clear, this signing could definitely work out for them, I'm not saying it's bad or anything. I'm just surprised.

Well, this is awesome. It's a shame that him and Metchie will get 0 votes because of the living miracle that is Damar Hamlin.

0 votes for what, CPOY? Would Metchie have even qualified for that since never actually played a snap?
