That would be a doomsday scenario right now. Might as well start Taysom Hill and draft a QB of the future.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Where did you see that? Google failed to find that for me.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Jordan Shultz reported it but ten minutes later Matt Maiocco and Albert Breer said they aren’t. So idk. I guess people throwing stuff at the wall seeing if it sticks.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

They should do something like that anyway.
Go get a Foles/Minshew in a trade, if you like one of the rookies take them.

No point in spending e0ml plus a year on a QB that costs you 3 qsts and stops you improving the roster. Lots of holes to fill on the roster and even more coming in the next few years with aging vets who they will be paying after they decline because they keep having to restructure for cap reasons.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

That happens quite often at this time of the league year. LOL!

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Was going to make a joke about Kaepernick being available but, not sure how that would go over.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Lol. If it’s funny go ahead

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

The moment passed.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

They speculate that since there's no news on Terron Armstead that they may all be waiting on how the Watson decision develops. Armstead could want Watson as much as Watson may be wanting Armstead.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

More than Kaepernick in the NFL recently.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

And you post every single :censored: one of their tweets... :rolleyes:

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

I don't dislike Kaep at all, but I don't feel like he's any better than Taysom, at this point.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Yeah. I'd give the edge to Hill at this point. Kaepernick's numbers over his last two seasons where he went 3-16 were not as good as what Hill has shown in his limited time as a starter.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Well played sir.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

They don't even like him out here in the liberal mecca. They saw him for what he was/is. Throwing a tantrum over a starting job, so his radical radio host GF sold him on being an activist. When they turn on an activist out here that's saying something.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Thank you. I'll be here all week.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Ya see, I thought you go with "well played", also more than Kap has done lately.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

For what it's worth ... it is on topic.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

This means Davenport can't be part of any trade deal.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Yes he can. It would just escalate the proration of the 4 void years (Undo the conversion restructure).

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

If Watson goes to ATL, and we don't sign Jameis back, we are in trouble.
I don't really see Carolina as a legit option to land him, but ATL is a real possibility.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Trading him wouldn't be impossible, but maybe less probable.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

And put us back over the cap. That's why any of the players that have gone through a restructure cannot be involved in the trade without the additional cap space to cover that escalation. Maybe one of the minor restructures, but none of the major ones.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Jason Whitlock has a very interesting take, read on all this...

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Trading Davenport now would result in a dead money cap hit of $9,601,384. That would increase our current cap number by $6,591,938 putting us back over by basically the same amount that we saved by restructuring him in the first place.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

So the cap matters then?

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

You are thinking linearly and that's not how it works. A bundle including his trade deal would be sent to the league with the end net being under the cap.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Which is exactly what he just said, which you learned on twitter yesterday...

:rolleyes:

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Show us how that "bundle" could be structured so that the net could be under the cap. Keep in mind, as of 4:00 PM tomorrow the 51 player cap figure must be at or under $208,991,219 and remain at or under that figure.

Yes, if we cut Roby and restructure most of the remaining players eligible we could, I suppose, slip Davenport in as part of a trade, but that would exhaust virtually all remaining cap recovery for further free agency.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Correct but Feauxstradamus said "can't".
I am leery of ruling anything out with this team since the Rickey Williams deal. :):bng:

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Not a done deal but my insider says Watson is essentially telling Arthur Blank it's his deal to lose.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

I do not have to show you anything, eventually you will even argue with yourself and prove me right.... which you did in the same reply.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Don't forget, we also need to make some moves to be able to fit Watson under the cap constraints. Including any player that has been restructured as part of the trade will make that those moves even that much more grueling, and yes, even impossible at some point.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Because the cap doesn't matter tho, rite? :rolleyes:

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Nope. You don't have to show me anything. ;)

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

I agree completely. Watson will get a pass by media and fans. Its depressing.

I really wish we could build through the draft or something.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Nobody has to show you a damn thing. I see you still haven't learned. NPD rarely does.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Dangit! Really???

I'm literally refreshing "Deshaun Watson" in my open search tab every 20-30 mins. I'm on pins and needles.
