Despite averaging 34.9 points per game and being in the midst of a seven-game winning streak, the Saints are leaving no stone unturned.
Although, this can’t be considered too shocking of a move for the team. No. 1 wide receiver Michael Thomas has shown out to the tune of 70 receptions for 880 yards. He also has an absurd 89 percent catch rate on the season. Outside of that, the Saints second-leading pass catcher from the wide receiver position is Tre’Quan Smith with 12 catches.
The 30-year-old receiver was released by Dallas this past spring after putting up 69 receptions for 838 yards and six touchdowns for the Cowboys in 2017.
