Pros / cons +
Pros
- Signed 4-yr/$132M extension Aug 2026 - highest-paid Saints WR ever, cements alpha role (Fox News, 2026-08)
- 2025: 100 rec/1163 yds/9 TD on 156 targets, 29% target share (9th in NFL)
- 17-game pace of 102/1403/13 in the 8 games with Shough at QB - carries real 2026 continuity
- Fully cleared, no limitations, from blood clot issue; full camp participation late July 2026 (NFL.com, Yardbarker)
Cons
- 4-5 documented concussions since 2022, incl. one that ended part of 2024 season - cumulative repeat-injury risk (NFL.com)
- 2025 blood clot in lung is a new, separate medical flag to monitor despite current clearance
- Rookie 1st-rounder Jordyn Tyson now a real WR2 behind him - some target-share dilution risk off 2025's 29% share
- O-line still unsettled: RT Taliese Fuaga has recurring injury concerns; 2026 pace/PROE unconfirmed
