Deshaun Watson to Saints?

AsylumGuido · 03-18-2022, 09:15 AM

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.

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.

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.

Turns out my guy was right. This was Blank's deal to "lose" all along.

I hope Matt Ryan gets cut, costing them even more money.

I haven't seen this posted - what do you think of Gardner Minshew? Heck of a talent who just needs the right team.

Ryan will get traded to the Colts, who don't have a 1st (Eagles trade for Wentz), but will come out of this looking great...

Gardner Minshew has started in this league and was a steal when he was drafted by JAX...

Search the thread ... it's in there.

Nobody is giving the FailClowns draft capital for Matty Ice, methinks. Contract is way too hefty.

Ask yourself, WWBB do? What would Bill B. do? And there is your answer. This is a team game. Yeah it's really nice to have an elite QB, especially when other parts of the team suck. Plenty of wasted Brees years with a bad defense... and a handful of bad decisions by SP as HC. At least SP recognized he needed to do something about the defense. And we have a really good defense now. Let's get some toys to play with, more beef up front, not mortgage our future with the loss of so many draft picks.... and kick some azz!

Honestly, I don't really see it as mortgaging the future. The draft is very hit or miss, especially in the 1st round.

Falcons, Matt Ryan agree to delay $7.5 million roster bonus until Tuesday

Imagine this... FailClowns cut Matty Ice, because they have to. Then Matty Ice picks the Saints as a FA. We can work with for a few years after he clears waivers. Prolly won't happen, but fun banter nonetheless.
