The New Orleans Saints have a burgeoning star in vast receiver Chris Olave. Olave has are available in and from the beginning of his rookie season has established himself as an up-and-coming receiver on this league. Sadly for each Olave and the Saints, there are quite a lot of unsettled conditions surrounding him within the Saints offense.
A kind of conditions is an absence of depth within the receiver corps. Olave is the clear chief within the vast receiver room, and Rashid Shaheed has burst on the scene and began to make a reputation for himself within the league, too. However past that, there aren’t many complementary items for Olave and beginning quarterback Derek Carr. That’s why one NFL analyst is urging the Saints to tug off a commerce with a group rife with choices on the place, the Houston Texans.
Bleacher Report NFL author Alex Ballentine just lately took a glance across the league and got here up with one commerce every group ought to discover earlier than the beginning of the season. For the Saints, Ballentine desires to see them enhance the vast receivers group by reaching out to the Houston Texans to strike up a deal for Noah Brown.
Brown has confirmed himself a succesful receiver on this league when given the chance. Brown was one of many higher receivers within the league final season at gaining yards after the catch, and was fourth in all the league with 17.2 yards per reception. He’s additionally one of the environment friendly receivers within the league, averaging 10.three yards per goal.
Sadly for Brown, these targets and all of the yards after the catch didn’t lead to touchdowns, as he was solely in a position to rating twice all season. Now, with the Texans including former Buffalo Payments vast receiver Stefon Diggs, together with a wholesome Tank Dell and Nico Collins, there will not be a lot alternative for Brown within the Texans offense.
Ought to he discover himself in New Orleans, although, Brown may moderately discover himself because the third receiver behind Olave and Shaheed. He’d be competing with fifth-round choose Jerrod “Bub” Means, final yr’s sixth-round choose A.T. Perry, and former Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins receiver Cedrick Wilson, Jr. for that third spot, with a great opportunity to beat out everybody.
On this hypothetical commerce, the Texans would obtain a sixth-round choose within the 2025 NFL Draft again from the Saints in alternate for Brown. Not a excessive price-tag for the Saints for a participant who may issue into the offense in a major means.
