His one-year deal was cheap, and the door remains open that he reaches a similar agreement to remain in New Orleans this summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Pettis\u2019 best games were the final pair of the season, although his fumble near the goal line turned what could\u2019ve been a long touchdown into a turnover late in the game against Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The former second-round pick out of Washington is a journeyman receiver. He\u2019s spent a couple of years in the black and gold now and seems to have built a bit of a connection with Tyler Shough in the latter stages of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Would you re-sign Pettis?
