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

I’m going to put this as nicely as I can. The people saying there’s “no chance” we trade up for Cam Ward lack critical thinking skills. It may or may not happen, but it’s clear as day the Saints are very willing to try to trade up if they can reach a deal with the Titans.

The biggest tell was:

There’s absolutely no reason to send the entire staff to watch Ward unless there is legitimate interest in Ward. There’s also no reason to with the “hope” of Ward falling to pick #9 as that is truly the only “no chance” scenario at play here and would be a waste of time for our front office. There’s far too much smoke right now for it not to be true that the Saints are trying to work something out to trade up. May or may not happen as it takes 2 to tango, but the interest is undoubtedly there.

I love how Sigler used a picture of Lauscha, Loomis, and Ireland that isn't from the Miami Pro Day to try to legitimize his article.

At any rate, there is no doubt the Saints are exploring moving up to #1. Underhill reported weeks ago that the Saints called the Titans so see what the cost would be to move up to #1, but at the time the cost was considered too high. That could change in that the Saints may decide they are willing to pay that price or the Titans could lower their demand. And, maybe it never gets done, but the Saints are clearly considering it.
