Saints trading up a smokescreen?

All we did was call and see if it was available, and what it would cost. A smokescreen would be someone in the org. leaking that it was almost a done deal.

So you were there, when the call was made?

How do you know that the phone call actually took place? You don't.

So yes, this story could be a smokescreen, none of us on this board know one way or another.
