    Most NFL observers would consider the offense of the New Orleans to be their strength with the defense a work in progress. Head coach Sean Payton is always looking to improve all aspects of the team, however, and brought in veteran wide receiver Patrick Crayton on Monday according to Mike Triplett of the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

    Crayton, 34, didn't play in the 2012 regular season, but he was a longtime valuable backup receiver/punt returner for the Dallas Cowboys, he played under Saints coach Sean Payton in 2004-05 when Payton was the Cowboys' offensive coordinator, Crayton spent 2010-11 with San Diego, finishing with 51 catches, for 762 yards and two TDs with the Chargers.

    Crayton was reportedly on the practice field on Monday so apparently this is more than a tryout. The Saints are looking far and wide for veteran wide receiver help in the wake of No. 3 wide receiver Joseph Morgan's torn ACL.

    Never really liked him. Seemed to run his mouth a bit to much. Guess he picked that up from T.O.
