Merritt to Saints

Happy for him. Needs to be more consistent, but hes got the potential to be a solid number 2. Flashed when he was here, but never really given a chance. Would have loved him to battle for the n3 spot next year.
 
Deep guy and we didn't throw deep?
So no shot given?
 
I'm confused about how this happened... Did he end the season on the active roster, or did we cut him loose prior to the end of the season? He should have been a ERFA.
 
Wish we had given him a bit more of a chance, but good luck to him anyway and he's from New Orleans so makes sense for him in that regard also.
 
He showed a lot of swagger during the preseason
Caught a lot of acrobatic catches, got off the line quickly, sure hands and threw his body out there 100% to catch the ball. He really gave a lot of effort
Would have liked to have given him more of a chance here
 
That sucks especially if McDaniels is the pick at head coach Merritt absolutely fit the bill as an effort guy that doesn't shy away from contact. He's seemed to be one of our receivers that had that dog in him when it came to blocking people in open space.

I wanted to give him a shot. I don't think he ever got a fair chance this year. Was wide open in texans game and jacoby missed him

Saints sign WR Kirk Merritt

Was surprised he didn’t get more of a showing last year with all the WR injuries etc. I like his athleticism and hope he gets a real chance with the Saints. A shame to lose him.

It is always very interesting to me that when season is over which players on teams PS all year do not sign futures deals with the team they likely have the best chance at sticking with.

I say player but I also know that that the team may pass on a futures contract with someone too.

Just really interesting to me as during season player could go anywhere. And Team can cut why wait until end of season.
