Deshaun Watson to Saints?

BakoSaint · 03-17-2022, 10:16 PM

I think our options to draft a QB just went downhill. The way I look at it the Packers dealt Adams to load up on draft picks to move up for a QB. I am sure Rodgers will understand.

I don’t want Watson anymore. After watching what’s transpired over the last couple of days I’ve changed my mind. Dudes been out a year and is acting like he’s Brett Farve or some ****. Doesn’t want to play in cold weather, wants a say in roster moves, wanted out of Houston before all the crap went down. He’s being treated like he’s a HOF Qb and he’s really yet to prove himself. He’s a hell of a player with a lot of potential but I don’t like all the demands. Let him go to ATL and we’ll take Ryan.

If we are going to be left unattended to our own impatient devices then let the conspiracies begin.

League revenues are down and in the near future Watson is going to be paying more than $300/hour for services rendered… Goodel asked Watson to sit on his decision so they could collect click revenue for a few days and promised him a small percentage to help cover the tanker of massage oil he is about to buy.

Irregardless of where he hands he better bring some thick skin. The Texans locker room may have this behind them his new locker room will have a boat load of massage material just waiting on him.

Or... if you need something to settle your nerves. Logic being a decision is generally quick but emotion being a judgement takes time to get past. Emotions dissipate over time.

The longer he takes the more time passes, that dulls his emotional attachment to Atlanta. He knows that New Orleans is the logical choice for both career and compensation.

Havent seen this mentioned

"The Saints met with Watson a second time on Wednesday night, according to longtime Saints reporter Nick Underhill. That makes New Orleans the first team to be identified as having two meetings with Watson."

Today has got to be the day, right? There needs to be some kind of deadline to this saga. I dunno about you guys, but I'm exhausted, between it being the first week of daylight saving time and and hitting refresh on this forum constantly.
If he doesn't make his decision today, Jameis needs to have a new contract tomorrow.

I honestly do not blame him. He has until April 22nd to decide. That comes with the risk of having clubs grow impatient and retracting their offers to go in a different direction.

When agreements drag out it is generally because of contractual terms. Watson and his agent are 'probably' looking at an offer from New Orleans and Atlanta with different guarantees and similar but different Ts&Cs regarding conduct. Watson's Houston contract is only relevant for 24hours then the destination team can restructure it so I am sure Watson and his agent are also looking at what the restructure from each team looks like.

As far as Jameis Winston, he has had an offer from New Orleans from earlier in the off-season, him not being a Saint is on him. He is gambling that the Watson thing falls through and New Orleans panics and gives him a better deal.

Yeah, I get it... I understand that its a huge decision and he and his agent need to figure out what makes sense for them. And, maybe if it wasn't between us and ATL, it would be less nerve-wracking... But, come on... I still want him to come here, but most of all, I just wanna know one way or the other, so we can focus on other things.

I have zero patience so I can understand your frustration

.

Try this, put your self in his shoes. 26yo, single, not only are you making a decision that a potential $100MM future implication but you are gifted with something that is very rare in this league especially at his age.

When was the last time a QB under 30 had the fortune of being able to decide where he goes? QB of his caliber are generally long term at the team they were drafted by, franchise tagged, or traded without much choice. If I were his friend id say '***K the fans, take the time to make the right decision for you'.

Now, if he is out getting a massage and not really pining on the decision then screw him.

The only thing worse than being a Saints fan right now and waiting for this decision, is being a Falcons fan, because their team already sucks. XD
