The Saints are apparently looking for some veteran depth at wide receiver.

According to Nicki Jhabvala of the Denver Post, the Titans free agent is visiting New Orleans.

The 31-year-old Decker caught 54 passes for 563 yards and a touchdown in his one year with the Titans, after successful runs with the Broncos and Jets. He has three 1,000-yard seasons in eight seasons, and has always been a reliable target in the slot.

The Saints will be without recently acquired wide receiver Josh Huff for the first two games of next season because of a suspension, but otherwise their receiver group from last year returns intact, as they tendered slot wideout Willie Snead and bring back Michael Thomas and Ted Ginn.

UPDATE 12:06 p.m. ET: Saints beat writer Nick Underhill says that Decker is not currently scheduled to visit the Saints. So we’ll see if he’s just taking a vacation.
