Tim Patrick almost joined the Saints, but terms couldn't be met with the Broncos.
The almost trades that never happen are always fun to discover, and apparently there's one involving the Saints. Detroit Free Press' Dave Birkett passed along a note about the Lions new receiver Tim Patrick, who apparently was about to be dealt to New Orleans in a trade with the Denver Broncos.
Patrick turns 31 in November, and if the Saints do figure out they want to get him at any point, they could potentially sign him off the Lions practice squad to their active roster. However, teams are also allowed to protect up to four players weekly. Patrick has had two tough seasons that were ended by injury, not even making it to the regular season.
New Orleans has a very young group at receiver, with Cedrick Wilson Jr. being the seasoned veteran at 28. In addition to Wilson Jr., the final roster selections for the Saints saw them pick two rookies in Mason Tipton and Bub Means, a second-year player in A.T. Perry and third-year receivers Rashid Shaheed and Chris Olave.I officially started covering the New Orleans Saints & other NFL topics in 2011.
