Piecing Together a Russell Wilson Trade for the Saints

The thing is, I really remember. 15 TD’s and 11 INT’s in the playoffs since the 2013 season.

I will politely disagree our teams were good enough to win it all last four years with Drew. If you want to put all the blame on Drew's supposed greed go ahead but what I saw was Mickey playing the CAP like a composer and we never went wanting. Always seemed to add in coveted free agents while in CAP hell.

I blame about 60% on Brees, 20% Payton, 20% on rotten luck.

20%, 20%, and 60% for me. But everyone has their own way of looking at things. Mine is through black and gold. Shoot me.

Looks like you don't. I doubt you've had an original thought since 1973...

You know other sad franchises (just like ours was, sorry to say) honor the QB that was instrumental in bringing the trophy to a team that most of us never thought we'd even get to the dance, much less win it. I guess you are the other guy.

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.
