The Saints re-sign a couple of their own players

The Saints have re-signed OT Jon Stinchcomb and WR Terrnace Copper.  Stinchcomb got a 2 year, $7 million dollar deal to start at tackle for the Saints.  The 6’5″, 315 pound Stinchcomb started all 16 games last season in his first year as a starter and he did a great job both run and pass blocking.  The Saints made a good decision in locking him up for a couple of years.

WR Terrance Copper was buried in Dallas, but Coach Payton brought him over and gave him a chance.  Copper played well for the Saints last season as he played in 15 games (4 starts) and he caught 23 passes for 385 yards (16.7 avg) with 3 TD receptions.  He also carried the ball 1 time for 8 yards.  Copper returned 4 kick offs for 79 yards also.  Look for him to get a chance to compete for a starting job unless the Saints bring in a big time veteran.  It’s more likely that Copper will settle in as the #3 or #4 WR on the Saints next season.
