Understood. I really like Olave in the 1st round, but this is the kind of move that would make New Orleans a HUGE free agent destination for years to come.

While the Saints have certainly had nice 1st round picks within the last decade, there's also Stephone Anthony within those picks.

With Watson you can have a franchise QB for the next decade and more, which would allow the Saints to be in the fight for the next couple of seasons full throttle. After that they could retool for a couple of seasons and fight again with Watson under center.

Just food for thought...

Yes, this. He comes with baggage so it's reasonable that their pre-controversy demand of three firsts may be just be throwing something against the wall to see if it sticks. That only logical in a negotiation. But so is coming back with a lowball counter. That's probably what both New Orleans and Carolina did. As Major put it, due diligence. Why not give it a try. All they can say is no. But then again, he's doing them no good sitting another season.

So recently you felt so differently. What changed? Would you embrace this player you seem to have so many negatively feelings about and start preaching 17-0 again? Pride and ego are clearly two different things eh speedo?

Yeah I get that reasoning but there are no guarantees it will pan out. With the baggage tied to him I rather try and find a QB in the draft this year or one of the coming with those picks.

Maybe, but my bet is they're gonna want a player. Maybe we can swap that player for another mid round pick. A couple firsts and a couple seconds, imo, would be a steal.

I’d be cool with Davenport if they just HAVE to have a player. I’m not moving CJ.

From the article:



With all this in mind: here is the kind of trade package Houston may be looking for:



2022 first round pick (No. 18)

2022 second round pick (No. 49)

2023 first round pick

2024 first round pick

Defensive end Marcus Davenport

Defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson
Not CGJ. That's a no for me
