The Saints News Network Krewe gets together to give their thoughts and pitch their best trade offers for Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.

JOHN HENDRIX 5 HOURS AGO

There's a lot of noise going on concerning the Saints, and it's all related to Sean Payton. The silence is deadly, and we'll only see what happens in time. However, one thing is certain for New Orleans going into 2022, and that's the fact of having to get better at the quarterback position. Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is a hot name that could be on the move, but that's not certainly a given.

We looked at a few options the Saints have going into the new season. Could getting a marquee quarterback make New Orleans a more attractive destination for a free agent? We previously discussed how bad the wide receiver production was, and that's also an area that leaves a lot to the imagination for the team. The upgrade for a Sean Payton-led offense is more necessity than luxury right now.

The Saints News Network team got together recently to give their thoughts on what it would take for New Orleans to land Russell Wilson from the Seahawks.

I'm hoping we sign Winston back, big arm, able to make all the throws, mobile and still young I think he's going to be better and better with age. I also like Bortles( ok, let the bashing begin) can make all the throws, huge arm, young enough, more of a pocket passer than mobile, I like him. Book is still a question mark at this point and even in that dreadful game did enough to show me with his toughness and attempted gunslinger mentallity he should compete at the least for the backup qb position. That's 3 gunslingers that I would like to see play. The O-line get fixed another rb and TE and a couple FA WR and I believe any of these qb's could do the job.

Russell Wilson won’t have any desire to come here without Sean Payton. We can put that to rest.

Ahh, the off-season.

AsylumGuido · 02-05-2022, 11:51 AM

There is an argument here. Personally, I am hoping for and expecting Winston.

$24 million don’t sound too bad. 👀

True Dat! But how many picks would it cost us to bring Wilson into New Orleans? We are close to a makeover/rebuild and need all of our draft picks to get younger and cheaper. I jut don't see how we can afford him and also re-sign our free agents. It is not an absolute either/or scenario though Rez.

There's always a way. We've let players walk that we shouldn't have, but it wasn't the lack of funding that caused these occurrences. Payton addressed this as part of his 92 minute retirement message. He admitted those mistakes.

That's actually pretty pedestrian by today's standards.
