The New Orleans Saints have addressed another position they considered a "must" to fill this offseason.
Wide receiver Cameron Meredith will join the Saints this season after the Chicago Bears declined to match the offer New Orleans made last Friday (April 6), according to a league source. ESPN first reported the Bears declining to match the offer.
The Saints signed Meredith to an offer sheet worth a reported $9.6 million over two years and with $5.4 million guaranteed. Because Meredith was a restricted free agent, the Bears had five days to match the offer but ultimately declined, letting him join the Saints.
