Saints | Andy Tanner placed on IR Fri May 22, 02:24 AM
New Orleans Saints WR Andy Tanner cleared waivers and was placed on injured reserve Thursday, May 21.
Footballguys view: Undrafted in 2010, Tanner spent last season on Injured Reserve with an injury he suffered in training camp. He's been a practice squad player for the Saints, but Tanner has not yet played a game in the regular season. This latest injury could spell the end of his pro career. |

Saints | Two roster moves Thu May 21, 11:10 AM
New Orleans Saints WR Andy Tanner was waived to make room for the addition of free-agent OG Mike McGlynn (Chiefs) Wednesday, May 20.
Footballguys view: This is merely a depth move. Tanner was unlikely to contribute much, if anything at all, while McGlynn is a a backup at best. |

Saints | Week 1 Inactives Sun Sep 8, 11:46 AM
The New Orleans Saints have declared WR Andy Tanner, DL Glenn Foster, SS Isa Abdul-Quddus, RB Khiry Robinson, LB Martez Wilson, WR Robert Meachem, OT Terron Armstead inactive for Week 1.
Footballguys view: It's clear that fifth-round rookie Kenny Stills will have the chance to take Meachem's old job as the deep threat and run with it. Meachem was signed as insurance. Robinson could be a name to remember if Mark Ingram has injury issues again this year. |

Saints | Younger WRs could get more chances Tue Aug 6, 12:27 AM
New Orleans WRs Saalim Hakim, Preston Parker, Kenny Stills, Andy Tanner and Nick Toon could each see bigger roles following the injury to WR Joe Morgan (knee), who is likely to miss at least a few weeks. However, the team values experience in the top three receiver roles, and it is believed veteran WR Steve Breaston will get a long look as the No. 3 first before any of the younger players.
Footballguys view: Toon is the player to watch here. If healthy Toon has good size and the wingspan to make plays in the red zone. Toon is not a quick twitch athlete and needs to be a more refined route runner if he wants to play up to his potential. |

Saints | Two WRs trying to impress Sun Jun 9, 08:09 PM
New Orleans Saints WRs Jarred Fayson and Andy Tanner are a pair of receivers who have spent plenty of time on NFL practice squads, and are trying to make the 53-man roster. Both receivers reportedly have been consistent during offseason workouts, and they have found ways to free themselves up in the secondary. WR Kenny Stills, a fifth-round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, has yet to stand out. All three might be competing for the fifth receiver job.
Footballguys view: Any Saints WR who makes the final roster is an interesting one to watch in dynasty leagues. That high powered passing game can make a startable fantasy option if injuries hit on the depth chart at the top. Monitor this battle closely as we enter training camp. |

The New Orleans Saints have signed RB Chris Taylor, WR Andy Tanner, OTs Phillip Trautwein and Fenuki Tupou, DT Mitch King and CB Kmaal McIlwain to future contracts. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.
Footballguys view: Taylor has bounced around the NFL and is a decent reserve RB. King is a high motor guy, but has failed to play up to his potential as a pro. |

Footballguys view: Fayson is an intriguing solidly-built speed wide receiver from Illinois. We'll be interested to see if the team signs him to their practice squad. |

Footballguys view: The player to watch here would be RB Chris Taylor. He used to be with the Houston Texans and has good leg drive when running between the tackles. The Saints backfield may look different next year, especially if they decide to move on from Pierre Thomas. |
