Deshaun Watson to Saints?

neugey · 03-18-2022, 06:37 PM

Browns really overpaid/overbid. The more confusing aspect is why not trade Baker to the Texans so they don't lose as much draft capital. The Rams at least had the sense to trade Goff in the Stafford deal. Almost for sure the Browns will have to cut Baker and take whatever that cap hit looks like because they have zero trade leverage after all this.

Pretty big win for the Texans really.

Baker ain't showin up for camp, that's for sure. Treating players that way is a great way to continue to suck.

This is so sweet! The best possible scenario. Watson goes to the AFC. The Failclowns got their hopes up and were dashed again. We cleared all this cap and retained all of our draft picks and are now in a position to stock up in free agency and the draft. And, finally, we can bring back Winston. Now I just hope our game against the Browns this season is during Watson's suspension. THAT would be the icing on the cake.

Am so relieved that the Saints didn't win the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes...

Am bothered that the same braintrust is still in place and tried to make this happen...

Am also reassured the Football Gods saved this fanbase and the team from themselves...

Now let's get away from this horrible operating system of rolling debt and build through the draft...

Guarantee this dude is gonna take the money and run. Browns have shown that they let the players call the shots and basically anyone can just up and leave if they don’t like it there. He’s gonna pay off those lawsuits and split. Bet he’s not even in the league 2-3 years from now. I’m so glad we didn’t overpay for this guy.

Idk man this seemed like sort of a chess match within the division anyway. Who knows what was going on behind closed doors. I kind of thought this might be a play to get one of our division rivals to break the bank.

That was my initial take until the ole Lady got on a plane, flew to him to, #IDK, massage his feet or whatever. Saints FO were all in on this...

Desean is a Brown now and the Saints still need a QB.

I'm not so sure Dennis Allen is all that fond of Winston as his starter in 2022 either. Maybe Dougie M puts in a good word on his former QB from Jacksonville - Gardner Minshew. He's fun as hell to watch that's for sure.

Not much left out there in Free Agency land for QB's.
