But what it is our option if Winston signs with another team that sees some of the same high-stakes potential we see in him with a larger contract, and we're SOL in terms of that deep-ball, powerful downfield passing threat Payton wants to re-institute? Some posters on here, Ive gotten the impression, have gotten the sense that somehow re-signing Winston won't be as difficult or as tricky as it potentially could be.And of all the QBs we are talking about, Winston has the best arm and throws the best deep ball, which opens up the rest of the offense.
I think Winston is the best fit, and he will command the least money. Re-signing Winston now to multi year deal, Book and Bortles back up, and send Hill back to his joker role, seems like the smartest play to me.
But what do I know! LOL
Free Agency can be a strange, weird little phenomenon. Sometimes the best player you desperately want to try to resign to a long-term contract like the La'roi Glover/Joe Johnson conundrum in 2001 offseason where our forking dumbarse FO discards one player (Glover) instead setting their sights on a sketchy, edgy player with character issues in locker-room (Johnson), we give what we think is a great deal, he says he thinks its great, but privately tells his agent, he thinks it could be better, his agent pushes for more and we say no, so Green Bay muscles in, and steals him after contract talks break down.
Good forking job, Saints FO. The problem was we simply chose the wrong player and Haslett, Mueller, and even Loomis didn't realize the magnitude of it until later on and too stupid to see their mistake occuring right in front of them.
Sometimes its not about the money being the determinate factor, its choosing the best specific team from a list where you feel most comfortable with. Thats why Joe Montana chose KC instead of Phoenix during the 1992 offseason even though the Cards offered Montana a lot more money then Schottenheimer and KC did.
