Russell Wilson

The Dude · 02-27-2021, 09:03 PM

No way in hell I’d want to give up Ram. Russel would be coming into the same situation he’s trying to get out of. The more I think about it the more I’m turned off. He’s basically acting like Watson and whining because he can’t get his way. I don’t want the NFL turning into the NBA. I’ve been pretty vocal about the Watson thing and I’m not going to change my stance on the issue just because it suddenly benefits me.
Then again if it gets us to the Super Bowl **** it.

I meant send him to Seattle.

Can we include Latoya in the trade?

With everything going on in Seattle, the mayor is worried about their QB and begging for another chance at an NBA franchise. Sounds about right.

I’m wit ya. Brees and some picks to Seattle for Russ would be a steal, not a deal.

He's got a no trade clause. The only place he can play is New Orleans.

He can play anywhere he wants, if he agrees to a trade. NTC doesn’t mean “only place he can play is New Orleans”; It means the player controls where he goes. That being said, I just don’t see DB#9 agreeing to go anywhere else, but stranger things have happened. It’s entirely possible he wants to play, it’s entirely possible Saints leadership, including coaching, has already move on from him.

If that is the case... Big IF though!

DB#9 come back for 2021 and is the best QB in the QB room ... DB didn’t was not reason we lost in the playoffs, it was Tampa’s defense. Look at what they did to Green Bay and Brady threw 3 interceptions. They dismantled KC and the best QB and one of the best coaches in the NFL.

Tampa post season

Tampa 30 Saints 20
Tampa 31 Green Bay 26
Tampa 31 KC 9

Tampa’s defense won that post season run and Super Bowl because nobody else’s defense was able to put pressure on Brady.

I know that, that's a given. Everyone should know how the clause works. But, Brees has repeatedly said that he would only play in New Orleans and that is where he would end his career. That's the point I was trying to make. With a no trade clause he makes the call and he's already made that call repeatedly.
