As far as Winston he's earned another chance to start IMO but he's not under contract with us for next year yet is he? Somebody could out bid us, right? |

Here we go. I found it: Jaguars head coach search: Retaining GM Trent Baalke will hinder team's ability to attract top candidates "Baalke has also recently been pushing Alabama offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien to ownership as a possible candidate. O'Brien earned accolades as a play-caller under Nick Saban and has previous experience as head coach in Houston. However, the bitter end to his time there, and his history of power struggles and personality clashes, won't likely do much to stem the tide of public sentiment in Jacksonville against the early stages of this hiring process." |

Sign Winston and I have to assume there would be more money to address critical positions.
Sign Wilson and I doubt that's the case. |

We could tank really hard, get Bryce Young and win a few Super Bowls. Bryce Young is going to be a better version of Russell Wilson.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints Off-Season Decisions
Indeed. Saints will (again) work the cap in a way that allows them to acquire levels of free agent talent. Don't need big splashes.
Shore up Marcus Williams. Solidify the O line. Add a playmaker at WR. Draft well. |

You're complaining about a system the Saints have clearly mastered to the point other teams now emulate and pursue their assistants. Bottom line is this - our ceiling was game 1 vs Green Bay. The entire team makeup changed from that game, and continued each game after that through the ENTIRE SEASON. My point is this - just a handful fewer injuries and our team is more than likely playing a home playoff game this weekend. |

The NFL nixed the New Orleans Saints sign-and-trade for Jadeveon Clowney “The sides discussed parameters of a deal in which Team X would’ve signed Clowney to a one-year, $15 million contract and paid him a $5 million signing bonus. Then, Team X would’ve immediately traded Clowney to the Saints, who would’ve sent Team X a second-round draft pick, as well as a player to take additional salary off New Orleans’ books. The Saints would’ve paid Clowney’s remaining $10 million salary. “Just one problem: The teams got word late Saturday the NFL was unlikely to approve such a deal,” they continued. The Browns were the team that the two mentioned in the article as “Team X” but they noted that wasn’t confirmed. It’s rather unprecedented to sign a free agent only to immediately trade them, one reason the NFL may have not wanted the trade to go through. |
Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints Off-Season Decisions
The Bears already interviewed Jeff Ireland for the GM job. I have to imagine Ireland said he would want Dennis Allen as his head coach. Are we about to lose both to Chicago? |
Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints Off-Season Decisions
Kris Richard.
Brian Flores. Mike Zimmer. Love Dennis and what he accomplished here but we'll be fine. |

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints Off-Season Decisions
Winston is the best option for the Saints for several reasons that won't cripple the team's future. Giving up draft picks for another veteran could work for New Orleans and create coming issues. Zimmer (Head Coach) and Spielman (GM) are gone in Minneapolis. There have been rumors of Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins showing interest in the Saints - largely because of Sean Payton. Although his contract would need major tweaking, so would Wilson's. Winston is making tremendous progress in rehabilitating his damaged knee. The workout videos with sports physical therapist Kevin Wilk are encouraging. Jameis is a competitor and an incredible teammate. His past is the past. People were hoping for the 30-30 Winston of 2019 to return, even though it didn't. It may be time for Saints fans and critics to rest the Jameis Winston negativity. An NFL team looking at the free agency market will be disappointed this offseason. Only the NOLA native Peyton Manning has thrown for more yards in his first five seasons. Not Marino, Mahomes, or Luck, not even Wilson, can make this claim. And for all of those calling him a "turnover machine." Peyton Manning had 100 interceptions to Winston's 88. He still can have you on the edge of your seat at times. The lack of consistency in the Saints' wideouts contributed to some of his erratic play — but not all. Jameis' career isn't finished. Most likely, it's not over in New Orleans. It was a small sampling. But was it enough for Sean Payton and Mickey Loomis to turn elsewhere in 2022? We shall see. Much more here ... |

Kicker carousel, new punter: After eventful 2021, what's next for Saints special teams?
BY AMIE JUST | STAFF WRITER JAN 24, 2022 - 5:00 AM The New Orleans Saints' specialists had an eventful 2021, as the team had a new starting punter and cycled through five kickers from training camp's opening day to the season finale. Here is a look at who is and is not under contract for the 2022 season, a quick look back at what transpired in 2021 and a view into the future of what the positions might hold. The players Under contract: Wil Lutz, Blake Gillikin, Zach Wood Free agents: Deonte Harty (formerly Harris), Brett Maher What happened Before the season began, the Saints made a painful move: releasing longtime punter Thomas Morstead in a salary cap decision. That opened the door for Blake Gillikin to take the reins. And in his first season as the Saints' starting punter, he flourished. He averaged 47.7 yards per punt, good enough for seventh among all NFL punters. Of his 83 punts in 2021, 29 of them landed inside the 20-yard line. Gillikin earned the NFC's special teams player of the month award for October, averaging 49.6 yards per punt in those four contests. Against Washington that month, he was the first punter since 2000 to have three punts of 50-plus yards be downed inside the 5-yard line, according to ESPN Stats and Info. Read the rest here ... |
