They may very well be out there but I haven’t heard anyone speaking about the rest of our coaching staff in that way.

We better hope someone took some ***king notes lol.

That said, not having Sean is not a negative, it’s just not a net positive, as I don’t know of any other coaches in the NFC South that could wear his shoes in talent development. We may not be holding on to Winston because he does need work but we don’t have the person to do it. (Pure speculation)

It’s been surprisingly quiet when it comes to Winston. Winston talk among Saints fans has been overshadowed by the offer for Watson but I can’t recall hearing about any other teams being interested in Winston for a while now. Maybe a lot of teams either don’t have the person to do it or don’t have a person who thinks he’s worth it.
This kind of brings us back to the question, if not Winston/Watson then who?
Reportedly Armstead was waiting to see if we signed Watson to test free agency but apparently he decided to go ahead and see what else is out there.
