Genuinely curious.

Your assessment is spot on.We have no Qb, no Kamara (6 games) and no real offensive weapons outside of Thomas that make us attractive to a Qb. We were always going to be an attractive organization as long as Payton was here but he’s gone. The only real draw is money and that’s limited.
These days players want to go to teams that are contenders now, not three years from now. The last two Super Bowl winners were “dream teams” that were put together partially by players recruiting other players. Players have started throwing tantrums when they don’t like the teams they’re on to try and force a trade.
I think the Steelers are in a better place than we are right now and Qb options a limited at best. We could strike gold in the draft and find a UDFA who surprises but I don’t see us making a huge splash in FA. Our defense is the only thing we have going for us.
As far as the desirability of the Saints organization I think we are pretty low on the list, we’re no Jacksonville but the Dolphins and Raiders seem more attractive at this point.
