No.

Rugby Saint II

You silver tongued devil. I could not have said it more succinctly.

Not something we need to worry about now.

Love 2 glove Teddy, grateful for everything he's done but he needs to go get paid elsewhere. Terrific team mate though.

Saints will possibly explore a QB HIGH in the 2020 draft.

Before the Saints can make any type of decision regarding Teddy, they must understand the intentions of Drew. If Drew says 2020 is his targeted last year, then you try and sign Teddy to a 5 year deal and have him backup Drew one more season. If Drew says he is playing indefinitely, then you thank Teddy for his service and wish him the best with his new team.

I get your intent but it doesn’t work that way in reality and you should never let an employee who’s job isn’t to make organizational decisions decide the path for your organization.

That’s a bad practice for a few reasons:
- It’s bad form to hang one mans future off another mans “intention”. Teddy doesn’t deserve to have Drew decide his future and Drew doesn’t deserve to have that weight put on him.

- If anyone could reliably understand another persons intentions, there would be no divorces, no parolees going back to prison. Think the Colt’s knew they understood Luck’s intentions?

Teddy is not the Saints future QB, the Dolphins offered him at most 12.5MM and I suspect if any team would think Teddy their future they would have stolen him at 15/Year. If anyone im the Saints organization thought Teddy was the future they would have tied him up for 5 years at a cheap price and left him backup until he started.

QB will be a yearly contract until Drew retires, the organization trades him, or someone offers him a deal he can’t refuse.


Oh and to the original question... No

No
Can't thank the man enough for what he did keeping the season alive but that winning record is on the Defensive line/ Cam Jordan led defense more than anything else.

Can't see how you can pay Teddy 25ml,Thomas 20ml and re sign Kamara, Lattimore, Rankins, Bell, Ramczyk, Onyamata and keep a competitive roster

While I agree on the premise of not signing Teddy to a big time contract, I don't think it's about being able to pay him and others.

We will have to pay a QB 25-35m per year, unless we grab a rookie, or perhaps run with Taysom and kick the tiers. We are going to be faced with a challenge to pay all of the talent we have. I would be more concerned about paying the defense and O-line... payton can scheme the skill positions.

I could be wrong but I don’t think Teddy B is going to get 25M/year but if that is what he is being offered then he should take it.

I agree that we will need that money to pay other players who’s contracts are coming up but if you do choose Taysom Hill as your QB you better have a top tier backup cause his style of play is reckless.
