The Facts:
Meachem agreed Tuesday morning to a five-year deal with the Saints which could max out at $11.3 million. Included in it is $5.71 million in guaranteed money. The contract and the guarantees came in at more than eight percent better than the 27th pick in last year's NFL draft.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As ESPN insider John Clayton suggested, the last thing Meachem wanted to do was show up late for the start of training camp. Since the draft, Meachem had to lose a few pounds and suffered a minor ankle injury that cost him time in the team's off-season program. He subsequently underwent minor knee surgery to correct a pre-existing condition. Now, starting Wednesday, Meachem can start catching up with quarterback Drew Brees and establishing an on-the-field relationship and begin earning a contributing role in the team's offense.
