Saints among teams planning private workout with Baker Mayfield

No way he falls to us.

But Saints kick tires and talk/work out EVERYONE. So its no surprise.

If we make a run at him we'd have to think we'd have to move up to #1 as the first oppitunity to snag him. At what cost???

Would Ingram be the scapegoat for Payton to have his way? I mean after his year last year is he now worth a first round pick? Maybe him and Armstead together? Don't put anything past Payton.

So we sign Brees to a two year deal, spend a bunch of picks to grab this guy and he sits the bench. Ok. Looking forward to seeing him throw his first pass in 2020.

Worked well for The Packers with Farve and Rodgers.....

Payton will probably start taking the ball out of Brees' hands as early as next year for those special trick plays. He's already implemented the wildcat.

Payton is just building relationships so he can lure him here after his rookie contract is up. We are straight on QB until then.

Katzenstein says "if he falls." Ha, I hope it is that but know we are considering the dreaded trade up.

We have a limited amount of draft capital. We can't afford to let the team spend it on a player who won't play for 2-3 years. We are close to another Championship and filling a couple of positions for BPA at a position of need is the way to draft in my opinion.I don't even see us drafting a QB this year or next. We will pick outside the top talent if we continue post season play,

My question is what money do we spend on Brees on a 2 year contract? The market is going to be set by Cousins and Rodgers is waiting on that to set the field, so do we pay Brees that type of money at his age( not saying he hasn't performed) or do we possibly roll the dice with rookie that could come in with a great O-line, top running game, really good recieving core not to mention a young D that finally plays as a unit and can keep us in tight games.

The second option is a disaster waiting to happen. It would most likely ruin any shot of the Saints winning their second Lombardi anytime soon. Thanks, but no thanks.
