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.
