Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints Off-Season Decisions
 
I dont see why we cant trade Michael Thomas for Watson and then spin off Watson for picks. The Texans recently did a player for player trade of Hopkins for Johnson. Stafford for Goff was a recent player for player trade involving highly paid QBs. The Saints had success with a player for player trade of Jimmy Graham. If we could get rid of a second liability like Hill, Peat, or Ruiz that would be great but 1 for 1 it can work too. Texans can tell fans they got an elite player for Watson and didnt sell for less draft picks than they already turned down. We can turn around and trade Watson for more than we might otherwise have gotten for Thomas.

You are assuming we would want to get rid of Thomas who is arguably one of our two most dangerous offensive weapons.

Same.

Really hate we lost Emmanuel Sanders but you're 100. There are quite a few solid WRs who will be available in 2022.

DJ Chark, Juju Shuuster, Christian Kirk etc. Guys who may come with an affordable price tag.

I was high on Michael Gallup, but unfortunately, he tore his ACL.

Because Watson has a no-trade clause. It’s up to him to waive that.

Very true about affordable contracts. It's going to hurt my feelings if Payton don't take advantage of this FA WR group.

Something to consider regarding Marcus Williams…

Just curious, why would Houston trade Watson for Thomas when they could just trade Watson for picks themselves?

I could somehow see D Watson land in NY (Giants).
