Re: 2021 NFL Free Agency: New Orleans Saints
Just saw that Henrickson just signed a 4 year $60 Million contract with the Bengals. I don't have a link.
It's kinda funny. Isn't that the Saints signed Drew to when he came here? |

Re: 2021 NFL Free Agency: New Orleans Saints
I’m not against a draft pick being spent on a QB. However I wouldn’t be surprised if there are more options out there at QB than even NFL scouts and coaches know. Everybody knows about Brady. Kurt Warner was stocking shelves. It’s hard to know what combination will work out. I’m not buying into Guido’s crap shoot theory, but provided the right conditions, it is surprising what can grow. Rosen, Darnold, Trubiski, Winston, are all physically talented guys who could become the next star if things line up. Guys like Rivers, Ryan, Newton, Stafford, Foles, Flacco are all examples of guys that showed they were capable of winning a SB IMO. I don’t expect it will be 10 years of drafts before the Saints obtain a QB they are comfortable with leading the team. Will that guy be the next Brees? Of course not. But we sure as hell can find an Eli Manning who won 2 titles.

Most will never take a snap in a game.

Quinn: Drafting QB every year 'good football business'
Coming from New England, Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn knows taking swings at quarterbacks in the draft is a calculated risk every good organization should make, even if that swing misses. "I think it's really good football business to acquire a young quarterback every year or every other year," Quinn said, via the Detroit Free Press. "There's such a value in the position and nowadays in college football there's a lot of spread offenses, which means it's a lot different than pro football. So it takes these young quarterbacks time to develop. So if you can add a young quarterback every year or every other year to your roster, it's good football business in my mind. So you have time to develop them, either on the practice squad or as a backup, before eventually them having to play in a game." |

Re: 2021 NFL Free Agency: New Orleans Saints
Saints are showing interest in Richard Sherman. That was obviously going to happen with Kris Richard.
