Saints talking to Dez Bryant. No contract....yet.

[TheSpecialJuan]

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports the Saints and free agent Dez Bryant are "in negotiations" on a contract.

Per Pelissero, "all signs are pointing that way" regarding the two sides reaching an agreement, even though Bryant left New Orleans already. Brandon Marshall and Kamar Aiken also worked out for the Saints, but neither is expected to get the job. Bryant would simply be a member of the supporting cast for Drew Brees. If signed, he would be hard to trust as anything more than a WR3.

Oh well

Eh doesn’t really matter to me.  A big bodied receiver who can’t separate doesn’t scare me, especially when they already have a possession receiver.

[Doc Holiday]

He is slow, hasn’t been good in a few years, honestly would be suprised if he even sees much playing time at all.

[poorboysrev]

Haha good they could use some internal discord and distraction

Finally. The corresponding move to the Jimmy Graham trade.

The metrodome collapses,..

Fake news. He left without a deal. Negotiating different than signing. Click bait 

[tondi]

I would rather he be out there than most of their other guys.

They are all in...all the chips.  Too bad for them...they forgot about them Panthers.  Royal flush coming.

He's a Kelvin Benjamin at this point in his career. Someone on twitter did bring up to me on Dez Bryant's impact in the red-zone, which I admit is very large. Not sure how Saints have been in the redzone this year thus far, but have to imagine he's an upgrade there.

If Sean Peyton tries to give him significant snaps elsewhere, he's literally a downgrade for their offense just by his presence on the field. Same guy on twitter agrees. I'd be ecstatic if that's the case.

All of you are in denial, he is the missing piece.

Tell me, who is the most targetted WR after MT?

Answer: Ted Ginn. He hasn't played in 4 games. Acting as if Bryant is going to take snaps away from a better player is silly. Can he play? I honestly have no idea. Claiming he's a downgrade is crazy. We're getting absolutely nothing from our WRs.
