Turner was back to practice today so let's not go cutting anyone just yet...

The major risk factor is called “playing professional football at our consistently uninspired and unprepared level”. We’re different.

I found this quote by Dennis Allen interesting: "“We’re trying to determine if we have a backup quarterback on our roster right now. I’ve seen some signs that I like,” Allen said. “Yet, I want to get them into real live situations, under the lights, and see how both of these guys operate in that environment. I’m encouraged by what I’ve seen out of both Spencer and Jake, and yet, we haven’t made any decisions there. I want to see what they operate like under the lights.

So if we take that at face value, there is still a scenario where the Saints sign Tannehill, Hoyer, Gabbert, McCarron, Sieman, resign Peterman, or pick up someone like Bailey Zappe who gets cut? Interesting. I guess there is a scenario in Allen's mind where Trey Lance, Taylor Heineken, or Zach Wilson could be our backup QB. It could be that expensive backups like Bridgewater, Watson, and Dalton were not a fluke or reaction to Brees age and this could be the teams new philosophy to throw $7 million at Ryan Tannehill if we get nervous. I hope not.

I hope we don't spend too much money. I like upside.

Translation: Carr is not really our guy, and we really haven’t figured out who is…

Runs counter to the narrative that Dennis Allen / Loomis aren't willing or able to improve the roster.

Interesting.

Would you sign him for say 4 years at $110MM?

I would 100% go after Aiyuk right now.

100%

Olave, Shaheed are your only reliable receivers.

All others are at BEST a fringe WR 3.
