The Facts: The New Orleans Saints on Friday announced that they have re-signed Meachem, the seventh-year receiver, to a one-year deal.

Diehards Line: Sean Payton added Meachem to the roster last September after he was released by the Chargers. His career appeared in jeopardy after a dismal showing in San Diego, where he barely contributed to their passing game, but New Orleans -- who originally drafted Meachem in 2007 -- still values him as a deep threat. He was a spot contributor for the Saints last season, hauling in 16 receptions for 324 yards. His 20.3 yards per catch average tied Aldrick Robinson of the Redskins for tops in the league, but Meachem won't see more than situational targets at this stage in his career. As NFL.com's Marc Sessler notes, Meachem will battle for snaps behind Marques Colston and Kenny Stills. New Orleans also has young talent in wideouts Nick Toon and Joe Morgan in addition to all-world tight end Jimmy Graham.
