Saints met with top QB prospect Cam Ward [Schefter: CLE, NYG or maybe Saints have to make an offer compelling enough for #1 pick]

To this day it still cracks me up more people here than will ever admit actually believed the Bengals would ever give up Burrow.

Agreed. In addition to all the usual considerations, that was a situation practically tailored between a player and team. Home state kid coming off the greatest season ever for a college QB, and a team desperate for a new chapter and a face of the franchise type player.

I think it would be easy to read too much into how the Titans are working this. They hold the most valuable pick in the draft and it doesn't hurt their position in any way to see what kind of offers are out there.
