Source?

The Saints, NFL Network, and Twitter as well as google pulls up results pretty easily. Heck even ESPN mentioned it in passing of course

Mark them how?

Mark them wrong

Yeah I can see it now.....Saints trade for Watson.....ten minutes later after deal is done NFL hits Watson for a 5 year Suspension.

 

[ASaintFerLife]

DeShaun Watson will be a Saint next year and we give 3 first rounders and Michael Thomas

Put the pipe down plz.

 

[BayouSAINTJoe]

...and then "3 first rounders and Mike Thomas" like that's something to be happy about.

Also at the deadline

Also at the deadline

That's called due diligence my dude, they'd be doing themselves a disservice to not find out how much it'll cost....especially after he's already put it out there as to where he'd like to go.

Exactly!

Saints inquire about the cost of the top pick (or as far up as any top pick is willing to trade out of), but they never actually pull the trigger. They also inquire about the windfall of trading down, but almost never do. (have they actually done that since Payton's inaugural season, when we landed Hollis Thomas & Mark Simoneau in a trade down?)

An inquiry doesn't mean you're doing it. It might not even mean you're interested. Maybe it just means you're performing your due diligence to find out the cost/benefit of doing business.

I hear they trying to get Bobby Boucher to help with the pass rush

I say they draft a franchise QB if there’s one to be had and sit him behind Jamies for a year or two if they have that luxury. Would be best case senario.

Rookie franchise QB's don't sit a year or two anymore. Everyone is looking for the next Peyton Manning or Troy Akmin,that starts from day one.

 

[saint_drago]

Your words have been marked.

I guess it's not beyond the realm of possibility. That's almost as much as they were offering for Joe Burrow so it's in line with what they are willing to give up for a franchise QB.

You missed the post about MT cap hit over the next 2 years I take it.

This is same guy who proclaimed Siemien is better than Winston last week. Wonder where he stands on that statement now.

Yep. If your not playing your first round rookie QB right away your wasting his cheap playing time.

We ain't trading for any of these QBs during the offseason, so get it out of your head. Even if we were to...we'd be out of multiple #1s and probably a skill player as well with no cap or no draft picks to backfill...our BEST out is that we resign JW on an incentivized 2 year, use our #1 on a WR to get some help w/ the skill players.

Or if you're not rolling w/ JW, let Ian Cook...and prove that he has an NFL arm...I don't want to see none of that floaty stuff though

LOL. Floaty stuff. I love this place!

Doesn’t take away from anything I said

I said they called about him at the deadline, which is exactly what they did
