Andre Roberts - The Affordable Receiver That We Should Be Thinking ABout

Instead of thinking about Decker or Nicks, both of whom will likely want more money that the team is willing or able to spend, Andre Roberts is a guy that is extremely underrated and will likely be in our price range.

 

The facts -

 

- He was showing a lot of promise as the #2 behind Larry Fitzgerald, even with the terrible string of QBs that were in Arizona.  When they finally got a decent QB (and Palmer is just that, decent) Michael Floyd was ready to break out.  He is basically behind an all-time great and a top 15 draft pick.

 

- He's a fantastic blocker, something that Rivera values. 

 

- He's affordable.  This is the most important note, as he is a player that will likely be within our budget.

 

Personally, I think that if we were to sign Roberts, he would instantly become the best receiver not named Steve Smith that we've had in many years. 

 

Other receivers that I'd be interested in us giving a look...

 

Golden Tate (Solid receiver and can return kicks if we lose Ginn)

Sidney Rice (Injury concerns, but likely affordable)

Santonio Holmes (I know, he's washed up...but for the price of acquisition, he may have a career rebirth with Cam Newton throwing him the bal)

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
