Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

We're probably out of the "sweepstakes" but ...

At least make the call ;) .

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Look this NFL you aren't going to win without a good QB. How much will it take 3-4 #1's DO IT. Players will come to NO just because of him. They want to see you are doing that you can to win. Make the room, make this happen.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

He'll likely be suspended the first six games or so. Don't forget that.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Maybe you could join him... :rolleyes:

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Saints shouldn't touch him till this is resolved...

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Absolutely and this will not be resolved anytime soon.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

I'd prefer Winston + Bridgewater + Hill
all three have won for us

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Character/legal issues aside - I like Watson's arm, athleticism and ability in the clutch. But I don't like the way he scrambles, he looks like a feline under the influence of way too much catnip. He needs to be coached to scramble with more purpose like Mahomes or Russell Wilson.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Hell no.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Seriously, I do not see any female owner touching him. No pun intended.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

I don’t know about the female owner thing… Jameis has a history of sexual assault.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

I want Jabo.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

As our resident racist you should be very careful here - as you likely have other 'tendencies' you want to mask...

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Who, and why?

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Due diligence.

Definitely make the call.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

So you're saying there won't be a happy ending?

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

I think you get the "point"

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Some great takes all around from you guys.

I can see it being a defining move that's worth the investment.

I can also see us staying pat with Jameis and drafting well again after adding a handful of mid tier FAs.

I'm leaning toward the latter just because that seems to have been the MO all offseason.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

I'd be fine with the Saints trading away their next 4-5 1st round picks for Watson if he wanted to come to NOLA, and if they could make it work within the cap.

I've never been a huge fan of his even before all the drama, but he is probably a top 5 QB in the league and could solve the problem with the most important position for the next decade.

Allen failed in part with the Raiders because he didn't have a franchise QB to lean on to, and even if his position is now more secure - I don't think he wants to repeat past failures.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

I was just watching Longhorn Baseball Network and they flashed A headline across the bottom of the screen: “Panthers plan to aggressively pursue Deshaun Watson”. Make of that what you will.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Desean has made it crystal clear that he wants to play for a contender, a team with a good O line a good defense and Head coach.

Matt Rhule has been terrible (5-11, 5-12) since hired as HC & their o line ranked 31st last season :rolleyes:.

I'll be inclined to believe he'll pass on the Kittens.

My guess is that he will land in Pittsburgh with weapons & a proven organization and HC.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

I agree completely. It kind of bothers me honestly.

The days of guys like Brees and Colston are long gone. Sad.

I'll say this, Watson has a ton of baggage. And its baggage in the last few years.

I'd really rather just try to find a good QB in the draft and go for him. But that's just me.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Agreed, but how easy is it to find a true franchise QB through the draft, especially when you are not picking with the first couple of picks of a draft?!

Trading for Watson could be that shortcut for this Saints' team to really compete for the Lombardi instead of years of mediocrity while trying to find the QB to take them to the promised land.

Pretty much last chances for guys like Jordan, Davis and Ingram.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Kamara and his crew beat up that guy recently too.

Like it or not, there are not many role models left in the NFL. Its no longer viewed as privilege to be in the NFL, because as long as you can contribute to a Super Bowl, a lot of the personal stuff gets forgotten by many.

As you said, disturbing.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Drafting a QB in the first rd is essentially playing the lotto.

HUGE gamble.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Probably a lot of the same kind of stuff went on behind the scenes back in the day when players actually had private lives.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

I'd be fine with Watson. Giving away four or five first round picks isn't what a new coach needs to establish "his team" by being handcuffed in the first round. Dennis Allen needs all of those picks to build his team.

I wasn't a fan when he came here but I like the effort from Winston on and off the field. Winston can lead this team to the playoffs or deeper and we can use all those picks on one or two first round QB's with ammunition left for trades still in our pockets.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

If he's truly not guilty then I'm all for it.

On the other hand, if he IS guilty then hell no.

Even if not this is something that's sure to drag on and on and on.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Probably??

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

Good points.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

I could agree in theory, but Allen inherited a team that is already built for success, and he undoubtedly was heavily involved in that process at least on the defensive side.

So it is, at least partly, already "his team."

You can always find ways to acquire additional 1st round picks, and you can certainly retool a winning team with picks from rounds 2 to 7. Add to that the UDFA and I don't think trading away the 1st round picks would be such a big deal IF adding Watson would produce another SB win.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

A "no bill" from a Grand Jury is not a not guilty, it only speaks to the evidence that the prosecution presented to the Grand Jury. There was no full disclosure or trial.

Desean Watson has some of the best physical therapists and team masseurs that money can pay for but he chose to hit the happy ending private market lol. He may not be found guilty but he is faaarrrrr from innocent lol.

Re: Deshaun Watson to Saints?
 

This!
