The recently-turned 33-year-old’s best days are behind him, but he’s proven he’s still a productive wideout. In 10 games with the San Francisco 49ers after getting traded there from the Denver Broncos during the 2019 campaign, he grabbed 36 passes for 502 yards and three touchdowns.
In joining the Saints, he’ll be teaming up with Drew Brees, Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas, among others.
To put it differently, the Saints could be pretty loaded offensively this season.
