Like I said, his role should be a full-time TE. Trading Trautman away like we just did makes that a very real possibility.

I seem to remember hearing Denver was deep in WRs. Maybe signing a FA and Drafting a FA at RB makes Hill a bit more expendable and he is traded for a WR. That does us very thin at the TE type position though

I would go for a trade for a wr if he’s a quality one. We can fill in TE through FA. We may still sigh Foster as well

Smart take, neugey. Correct assessment. Different player.

I can't foresee Haener being the future starting QB for the Saints but how funny would it be if he turned out to be a good-great player for the Saints after all the strikeouts on the QB's drafted in the Payton era?

A lot of very tight throwing lanes on some of those completions.

Not to mention he was injured too.

The pass near the sideline at 0:50 in the video was beautiful, as was the seam pass at 3:22 mark.

Wow okay, we might have a decent rookie QB here then.
