Will Deshaun Watson ask for a trade?
 
https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...k-for-a-trade/

This would be the ideal successor to Drew but I'm sure the price will be extremely high.

It’s too early to think about where he’d potentially be traded. It’s not too early to make a list of teams that would possibly clamor to get him. The Patriots, Steelers, Colts, Raiders, Broncos, Washington, Eagles, Bears, Lions, Saints, Panthers, Falcons, Buccaneers (if Tom Brady is one and done), and 49ers are the most obvious.

Two 1st rounders and two third rounders.

Bring him here.

I'd take him...in a heartbeat.

Careful. You'll give JeanPierre a stroke.

Lol! I know it! He definitely values draft capital. He might be okay with that move though!

I would do it, I think he’s built perfectly for this team. That being said, I don’t see us having the picks/ppl needed, without sacrificing the future. And I’m never too keen on quite possibly destroying what you have already built for one guy.

It’s a shame too, I really, really would like to see him here in New Orleans.

Sean Payton would do amazing things with him.

Yeah he’s outta there. It would be crazy for us to not at least inquire. The compensation would be steep, but we’re not going to be picking high enough in the draft anytime soon to snag a top QB.

Russel Wilson was a third round pick. Dak Prescott a 4th. Rodgers was picked at 24. There is no need to spend a top 10 or so pick on a QB. With the talent on the team under contract (Thomas and Kamara) I feel confident Payton can get a QB moving forward without giving up 4 picks (especially 2 firsts). Not to mention Watson costs lots of money, so say goodbye to Ram or Lat or someone else if they trade for him. I’d keep the picks and use a first for a new QB or go with Winston or Rosen or Donald or someone like that.

Why not stick with Brees. Problem solved.

The draft is always a gamble. We know exactly what we’re getting out of Watson. We haven’t drafted a great quarterback in New Orleans since Archie Manning. We don’t have a good track record for drafting QB’s. Payton thought Garrett Grayson was a good idea to spend a 3rd round pick on. You can’t pass up on a kid like Watson if that opportunity presents itself. They already took Lattimore the pick before Watson went off the board. People like Armstead and Cook could walk and open more cap. We’d be fine.

We wouldn’t be fine with losing 2 firsts and 2 seconds to get him. That’s serious loss of young talent. I never took Grayson seriously because he was drafted while Brees still had many playing years left. The cost in both money and lost draft picks is way too high for Watson. That would be a Herschel Walker type move and it would set the team back for about 3 seasons. I’d give Winston a chance before I did that.

I would. I was just explaining why I wouldn’t give up 4 picks for Watson.

I think a lot of people are sleeping on Jameis just because they don’t like him. That sh*t show organization that is Tampa that set him back more than improved him. The kid has the goods, has the right coach, and the right system in place to be what Tampa thought he was. SP will make sure Jameis has his head and arse wired together

If we were somehow to get Watson, we'd need to get him to reign in his ability a bit to make better decisions. He seems to scramble willy nilly and right into major trouble sometimes that should be avoided. It probably stems from Bill O Brien's inferior coaching.

Boston Saint 01-08-2021 02:30 PM

Re: Will Deshaun Watson ask for a trade?
 
Let’s assume they’ve both had bad coaching since they’ve been in the NFL. That being said I am wondering what Watson can do that Winston can’t? Both guys are big strong QBs with good arms and both were high draft picks. They’ve both thrown for a lot of yards and TD so far in their careers. Yes Watson’s interception percentage is better than Winston’s but Watson has not had a 5000 yard season either. Winston has had more TDs than INTs every season he’s played. Brett Favre can’t say the same. Couldn’t Winston be coached out of those ints? Just a thought before draft picks are given away.

Take a ticket and wait in line, but unfortunately Watson has strong ties to Georgia which could give the Dirty Birds a bit of an edge.

Patriots, Steelers, Colts, Raiders, Broncos, Washington, Eagles, Bears, Lions, Saints, Panthers, Falcons, 49ers. Buccaneers (if Tom Brady is one and done),

Re: Will Deshaun Watson ask for a trade?
 
If O'Brien was still with their organization the Saints would fleece them for Watson. Giving up all those high picks is a mistake.

I'm with Boston Saint. Winston or Rozen would be good to great here plus all the high round picks the Saints keep by not wasting them on one player.
