Deshaun Watson to Saints?

I think the Watson to ATL is a done deal. Matt Ryan pushing his roster bonus until Tuesday gives him and another team time to explore a trade destination. We need to move on.....

Which team do you predict ?

The NFL is a cutthroat business. I hope Atlanta gets no help and die with Ryans salary & potential cap hit.

I'm with you on that lol! Honestly I can see Ryan going to the Colts. They are looking for a Vet at QB. Ryan telling the Falcons sure hold my 7 million for a few days just made me think this is a done deal. Hopefully I'm wrong.

I can see this as a win/win situation for the Saints right now. If we get Watson we may be set for the next decade at the position with basically all our current roster tied up for the next couple of years or more. If we don't get Watson we now have $30 million in cleared cap space to sign Winston and Armstead, plus any other free agents (Mathieu, Landry, et al) needed to make a run regardless.

I agree, it's not a bad position to be in. But, Watson needs to make a decision before all those guys get signed elsewhere.

People were saying the same thing when the Saints restructured guys to get 30 mil under the cap. Both teams just doing what they need to do to make room for him. It's not over yet.

Dennis Allen with a hell of a start to his tenure… Whiff on Deshaun Watson and alienate the players who were included in the potential trade.

Either way, you lose the locker room for a bit don't you?

I think the Colts would be an awesome fit for Matt Ryan. Only problem is they just gave up draft assets last year for a QB that didn’t work out. I don’t know if they’d do it again.
