Saints met with top QB prospect Cam Ward; Cam Ward: “It would be a dream of mine to play for the Saints” [Saints may inquire about trading up for Cam]

I rarely come here anymore so had no idea that tweet had gotten so much traction.

I'm trying to be careful how I'm reporting the Ward news. I can say the Saints love him and he's their only graded RD1 QB like I've said on the podcast. I've heard POTENTIALLY it would cost 9/40/71/next year's 2nd or 9/40/2026 FRP (which is still much less than the CHI-CAR deal). If they do it, I think it'll be because Ireland is pushing it, Moore really likes him & Loomis is on board (and likely a Carr trade would then happen to recoup the picks - 4th at best I'd guess). I don't know if it gets done but the team also really wanted to move up for Penix last year too (despite it being reported they didn't, they absolutely did). I don't get the sense TEN loves Ward from everything I've gathered but they have legit no QBs on the roster/team right now.

I've also heard the Moore likes Dart but don't know if he's be in play at 9. If they don't go QB in round 1, I really do think they will try to draft Milroe at some point (if he's there in RD3 especially) because they loved him prior to him plummeting in the second half of Bama's season (to the point he may have been their RD1 pick but who knows his momentum may have not had him as an option if he continued how he started the season). We're breaking down Milroe this weekend for Patreons in our extensive Prospect of the Week series.
