Max McCaffrey had options when the Green Bay Packers waived him as part of the roster moves to reach the league-wide initial 53-man rosters.
The Packers expressed interest in bringing the wide receiver back on the practice squad, and he was in the team's facility when another offer came from the New Orleans Saints.
For McCaffrey, his decision came down to an opportunity to eventually contribute on the Saints' 53-man roster.
"When I talked to them, it sounded like they were really interested and I'd have an opportunity to play, which at the end of the day is what I needed to do is go out and play football," McCaffrey said.
