The veteran pass-catcher played under new Saints&#8217; head coach Kellen Moore in 2023, making him a strong candidate to fill the team&#8217;s need.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, Allen put up a respectable 744 yards and 7 touchdowns in 15 games with the Bears, being a reliable target for then-rookie Caleb Williams.<\/p>\n<p>At 33 years old, Allen brings a veteran presence to the young wide receiver room. With his ability to help as a contested-catch target and Allen&#8217;s high-level route-running, New Orleans would add a veteran who fills a major need and helps their young quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>Amari Cooper<img alt=\"Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper (18) runs with the ball after making a catch against the Tennessee Titans during the second half at Highmark Stadium.Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"standard-img\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/41d93b750e57a3064f6556a5feb3ffa4.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper (18) runs with the ball after making a catch against the Tennessee Titans during the second half at Highmark Stadium.Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p>Veteran wide receiver Amari Cooper surprisingly remains unsigned despite an impressive 1,250-yard season just two years ago. While Cooper wasn&#8217;t as productive in 2024\u2014accumulating 547 yards in 14 games\u2014the 30-year-old wide receiver still has a lot to offer.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Amari Cooper fits into the Saints&#8217; new system similarly to how Allen would. Cooper was a middle-of-the-field threat throughout his career and has the tools to make an impact in the red zone. The 6-foot-1 wide receiver hasn&#8217;t had an impact as a scorer, but his middle-of-the-field presence is enough to fill a need for the Saints offense. Along with connections to Kellen Moore, spending the 2018-2021 seasons in his system with the Dallas Cowboys, Cooper is a strong candidate to join the wide receiver room in New Orleans.<\/p>\n<p>Allen Robinson<img alt=\"Brace Hemmelgarn-USA TODAY Sports\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"641\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"standard-img\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/7c90b1dba10c585c4707fd9195af262c.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Brace Hemmelgarn-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n<p>Wide receiver Allen Robinson hasn&#8217;t had an impact on an NFL team since his 1,250-yard season with the Chicago Bears in 2020. Robinson&#8217;s role has become smaller over the years and he ended the 2024 season with just 3 receptions while appearing in 12 games with the Detroit Lions.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Despite the 6-foot-3 receiver&#8217;s lack of production over the last four seasons, he can earn a larger role with New Orleans and fill their need for a big-bodied contested catch target. Robinson would be in the cheaper range of the available receivers and has the experience of a Pro Bowl receiver.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/article\/pffs-way-too-early-mock-165103999.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: New Orleans Saints Draft LSU Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier in Way Too Early 2026 Mock Draft;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Related: New Orleans Saints Draft LSU Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier in Way Too Early 2026 Mock Draft<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/article\/final-orleans-saints-2025-nfl-123724656.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Final New Orleans Saints 2025 NFL Draft Grades;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Related: Final New Orleans Saints 2025 NFL Draft Grades<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New Orleans Saints offseason may not be over yet.
