What else was there available and what did they end up getting from elsewhere? Did they want to go somewhere without state taxes? Did they want to go near family? There's so many factors that none us know what taking place during the free agent season.

3 questions - how many reposted tweets will it take to answer them?

That’s a possibility but this problem didn’t spring up overnight, it was a problem stemming back at least since 2018 and SP nor the FO did anything to fix it. It was just super obvious last year. Most teams are gonna field two no. 1’s this year, while we more than likely with roll out MT and the scrubs. And another thing is we don’t know if MT will be MT. He had the same injury as Jimmy and Jimmy wasn’t the same guy after the ankle injury/surgery

Saints were willing to mortgage the farm & draft capital on Watson but want to pinch pennies at a position of need?? Gotcha coach.

Bargain bin, great value players take L’s on Sundays at this level.

If the Saints draft for NEED instead of in Free Agency, it’s is a ticking time bomb waiting to happen.

What do I know, I’m just a couch coach though 🤷🏼.

Jimmy wasn't the same guy as Thomas before the injury.

But, I'm willing to let the new regime have a chance here. Free agency just started and there will still be options left hanging until after the draft at all positions. I asked this of Major, but what do you think, who have we missed out on that we should have signed so far?

What FA WR have they missed out on that they should have and could have signed so far?

Is that even a serious question? Why don't you tweet us a list of all the FA WRs who've signed elsewhere. You're the "insider"...

In all fairness, I think they tried. But we've discovered that NOLA is no longer a destination of preference, for a variety of reasons. It can still be, but it'll be defined by the success they have in the beginning of DA's tenure. We've the cap situation to deal with as a limiting factor for some of those outrageous contracts handed out. Example of Cleveland comes to mind with DW. I mean, who'd want to live in Cleveland ?!?

Still a lot available ... Jones, Landry, Fuller, Beasley, Hilton, Sanders, Cole, Watkins, Hurns, OBJ, Amendola, Goodwin, Humphries, Sanu, etc.

You can’t always nickle and dime your way in Free agency at the skill positions. Brees is long gone.

What is your definition of “a lot” available?

Jones is OLD and BRITTLE, Watkins is a walking injury in waiting (see Jones) , Sanu is downgrade from Trequan, OBJ is recovering from yet another torn ACL & won’t be ready until late October , Sanders and Amendola will be 36 at the start of the season

. Goodwin caught a blistering total of 20 passes in 2021.

95% of the guys you mentioned can’t help us at WR. The only guys I see worth a damn is Landry & slot guy Humphreys but the Saints won’t call. Trequan is a good blocker so he’ll get the nod

.

No more participation trophies. It’s time to compete.

You need a MINIMUM of 3 legit WRs to have a chance in late January.

But again, I’m just a couch coach.
