New Orleans Saints: Top 5 low-cost free agents to consider signing
WR, Demarcus Robinson (Kansas City Chiefs)
Demarcus Robinson plays on one of the most electrifying offenses in the NFL. Patrick Mahomes gets everyone involved. However, Robinson was not as high as he should have been on a depth chart full of talented wide receivers.
The Chiefs have the opposite problem of the New Orleans Saints. They have too many talented receivers. Therefore, Robinson doesn’t put up the numbers he could if he was the No. 2 receiver on a team — especially one like the Saints.

Demarcus Robinson 4.95
Mecole Hardman 4.93
John Ross 4.63
Mike Evans 4.28
This year Robinson caught 39 passes for 449 yards and 4 touchdowns. All of those are better than Ted Ginn and Robinson is the No. 4 wide receiver on the Chiefs while Ginn is a No. 2. All the signs point to the Chiefs letting go of Robinson and putting effort into Pringle.
If that is the case, the New Orleans Saints could get a bargain with the fourth-year wide receiver. He should also be able to heighten his numbers under a quarterback like Drew Brees. The benefit to Robinson is he has the speed to burn cornerbacks deep.
