Saints WR Henderson on the way

Another confirmed free-agent visit: Agent Jimmy Sexton tells us the Saints' Devery Henderson will be making a visit to Tampa Bay.

Henderson, 5-11 and 200 pounds, caught 20 passes for 409 yards in 2007. The 25-year-old has averaged 20.2 yards per catch in his three NFL seasons.

This might not be the blockbuster receiver most were hoping the Bucs would pursue, but he does possess the kind speed the Bucs are looking to add. And because he's still young and improving, there is a feeling he has some upside to tap into.

Considering the unimpressive group of receivers available in free agency, getting Henderson might be considered a small victory. Jerry Porter just got a $30-million contract from Jacksonville, and little-known Andre Davis re-signed with the Texans yesterday in a deal that will pay him about $4-million per year.

As I told you earlier, we hear the Bucs think they haven't seen the best of Michael Clayton and Maurice Stovall and think they can get production out of them in 2008. They both are tough receivers willing to do the dirty work and run inside routes. Maybe if an effort is made to involve them in the offense a little more regularly they'll start to show some consistency.

Either way, don't look for the Bucs to spend crazy money at this position. And don't lose sight of their ability to further address the position in the draft, which is rich in receiver talent.
