The New Orleans Saints receiving corps is suddenly looking very sketchy. Starters Michael Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders are both out of action, and they’ve lost veteran reserve Bennie Fowler to injured reserve. They need some help, and it’s likely to come from the practice squad, where they’ve stashed veterans Austin Carr and Tommylee Lewis, plus rookie Juwan Johnson.
But who could be available in a trade? Know now that the Saints aren’t likely to find a magical cure-all before the NFL cutoff date, but some marginal upgrades could be found here or there. And a potential move shouldn’t be made based off a knee-jerk reaction to this week’s absences; the Saints have been running thin at receiver for some time now.
