Add in a possible draft pick at TE. They paid good money to Meier and he did not play at all due to injury ...I sniff TE by committee possibly, although Hilton will definitely be in the mix ... Campbell is a blocking TE only ... so the pass catching TEs will be two of Conwell/Hilton/Meier/possible rook ...Agree with diesel, as usual.People are blowing way too many wads on Hilton.Beautiful. So whether or not Hilton will have a job depends on your evaluation of him and the other TEs, rather than NO's evaluation of them? Classic.Its as easy as looking at the contracts.Ahhh, you wanted logic from me, though you provided none to begin with. Classic.Here ya go ace.Beautiful logic in your response, but no not kidding.
Mark Campbell was signed, Ernie Conwell will be back. Hilton, though he has good hands, will have to beat out Shad Meier just for a spot on the team.
...
Meier - has done nothing, couldn't even beat out Hilton last year
Conwell - two off-season surgeries
Campbell - signed as more of a blocker that a pass catcher
Hilton - just signed his tender; had 32 catches and over 350 yards in his 8 starts, that with the disaster that was the Saints QB situation the second half of last year.
Cute.If I liked players begging for a PI call every time a ball was thrown near them, yeah, Boo would be at the top of my list......
Are you a Boo Williams support by any chance?
Obviously Campbell is your starter. Given a good contract this offseason by the new coaching staff.
Ernie Conwell- Played very well as a starter last year, is recovered from injury. Getting paid a decent amount, and the Saints still have him around.
Shad Meier- Still makes more money than Hilton, but hasnt made and impact and will have to fight with Hilton for his spot.
Hilton drew ZERO interest as a restricted free agent, before signing a ONE year deal with ZERO guaranteed money. Saints made ZERO effort to extend him before he becomes a UFA next year. And he had 35 catches in 8 games!?!!!111
Nevermind that the Saints had one healthy WR and zero healthy TEs in the games he started. 35 catches and 11.3 ypc are a sure sign of Hilton's dominance.
If NO was truly sky high on Hilton, I think they would have signed him to more than a one year tender, potentially exposing him as a UFA next year ... I expected a multi-year deal, and was very dissapointed when it did not come down ...
They are high on Hilton based on keeping him on the roster for several years. The jury is still out on how high ...
And I have Hilton in 3 of my four dynasty leagues ...
