My concern is his upcoming focus. 22 civil suits is an absolute **ckton of distraction and stress, those are not class action so he has to handle them independently. Depositions, accusations, every one in a city close enough for reporters to round trip in a day.

Probably also worth mentioning that a $150MM+ NFL QB went to see a masseuse in her home. Some might call that absolutely stupid and question his judgement. The big easy is not exactly a safe place for him lol.

First, I think you have to sell him on the idea of NOLA. Once he is considering, then you have to have that conversation, have you learned anything about putting yourself in bad situations.

We need to get it done

So you are of the mind that after the Houston Texans owners coaches and lawyers, HPD, FBI, a Grand Jury, and Deann his mama there is something left to be said or asked? He is accused publicly of giving unwanted money-shots lol, I am surprised his mom didn't already bury him.

I am of the mind you protect the club contractually as best as you can with a ton of conduct verbiage then after that it is what it is, you roll your dice and take what ever it becomes.

As far as for selling him on anything, he has already rejected all but Saints and Panthers. I'd book a meeting, if he shows, he is considering. He isn't coming out of college, he knows what New Orleans is. He has played against the Saints in New Orleans.

I really don't think anybody wants Cooks back. Better off signing Landry. Thomas, Landry, and Callaway would be a damn good WR 1-3.

Peat's contract has been restructured. There's no way we can absorb the cap hit with any player restructured this offseason.

I kinda feel like it's Watson or bust, at this point. If we try to get him and fail, I think Jameis signs elsewhere or jacks up his price. I do think a deal is doable here, but we'd have to bite the bullet and trade some stuff that we may not want to trade. Ultimately, though, I think it's worth it.

I say this purely from a football standpoint, not a legal or moral standpoint.

I hear he’s talking to Cleveland today. This kinda has that OBJ/Suh feel about it. You know where you want to play already. Just resign Jameis, get Jarvis, and draft a speedster, a o-lineman, and possibly a tight end. And the offense will roll
