Piecing Together a Russell Wilson Trade for the Saints

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.

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

Was Brees limited as time wore on? Of course. But 60% of the blame? Not even close.

It was around 2016-17. Brees deep ball was fading. He still could thread the needle on 30-35 yds. downfield at that time. Our problem was Payton wouldn't commit to the run game and Thomas was the main focus, made it easy for DC's to figure us out. He tried his best to make Kamara into Marshall Faulk and it never worked which also limited our O.

Speaking of “trade talk”, what are the chances the Saints make a call on Gardner Minshew? Dougie/Jags connection.

For whatever reason I thought Minshew was an older player. He’s on 25 😀 ?!

With a new HC, it’s hard to say what direction they go at QB. Winston, Bridgewater, Carr, Minshew perhaps?

I’m probably just reaching here …

Minshew is fun to watch, I'll give him that.

K - you're not reaching at all IMO. He'd be fun to watch if nothing else.
