Saints look to fix WR problem with former Buccaneers castoff (but it's not enough)

There are plenty of reasons for New Orleans Saints fans to be concerned about the upcoming season. The team's second-round pick failed to win the starting quarterback job, a star defender shockingly retired, and the receiver group has arguably become the weakest in the division.

The Saints tried to fix one of those problems, claiming former Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer off waivers. Palmer should be a contributor for New Orleans this season, but he's not enough to fix their issues.

The Buccaneers clearly weren't satisfied with him. They hit their receiver room hard this offseason, drafting Emeka Egbuka in the first round and Tez Johnson in the seventh.
