Russell Wilson

Boston Saint · 02-27-2021, 12:35 PM

I’d like to have Wilson as starting QB. I’d understand giving up the picks and player(s) to get him. I just don’t see if they pulled the deal off how they could afford re-signing him and still be able to keep the team viable without the influx of low salary draft picks to the roster. Filling out roster positions is gonna be tough through free agency.

I say the same thing every year and we still wind up signing bigger named FA with a lil room to spare. I’m not so worried about the cap, somehow Loomis is able to get it done. It’s always “you can only kick the ball so far down the road before it hits a wall” yet here we are still in contention.

Brees is still signed right? Why not throw him in the mix as a one year stop gap while mentoring a young draft pick?

That's what I've been promoting all along. If that shoulder heals up this off-season he's still better than over 2/3rd's of the starting QB's in the league today.

Just me, but I wouldn’t do it for that.

Me neither. I wonder what the other three option were. I just saw this image shared on my FB feed.

Do that and the Saints finish next season with about 3 sacks and a secondary getting torched.

Oh and i doubt Wilson would be happy leaving a terrible offensive line to join a team that will be likely playing Hurst and Peat at Tackle after Armstead picks up his yearly injury.

With the numbers needed to get Wilson or Watson i would much rather see if the Cowboys jump at one of them or fail to get a deal with Dak.

Im still going to push that Sean Payton could work wonders with Gardner Minshew and at under 1ml a year for the next 2 years it doesn't stop you looking at the market and draft either

Do a similar deal and trade Armstead instead

Not sure if you were aware but Armstead has been available & has played in more games than tumbleweed Peat over the last three seasons.

As for Dak, Stephen will slap the 2nd tag (costly)if needed but he's not leaving Dallas.

I doubt it but if they think they have to go down the tag route i do think they might contact both Texans and Seahags and see if they can get a deal done and potentially let Dak walk and get a 3rd round comp or sign and trade now.

I know Peat health is awful, but he has little trade value, Armstead does
