They think Terry Fontenot is a Mole for the Saints (Quote from their Message Board)

[crawfish2010]

Fontenot inherited four very bad contracts - Ryan, Julio, Jarrett and Deon Jones. He's smartly taking his medicine to get some working room. After that, we'll see how good he is at building a team.

Exactly, they have a projected $130 mil in cap space for 2023. Matt Ryan was not the future. The hardest part will be finding their franchise QB.

I agree 100%. Of course fans aren't going to like it but it's smart. I'd rather my GM stand tall before the man and take it on the chin for a year or two then try to restructure these awful deals to keep old players. The window is closed. They came to terms with that and have made moves accordingly.

What a disgusting take. It's fine if you don't like him or don't want him in NO, but at least try to be objective about it.

I don't know if you're in that 'we didn't get him, so he's a sick pervert" crowd or not, but he's allegedly a pervert. Allegedly a 'sicko loser'. He never did anything to you, nor do you know anyone he did it to, nor were you the room when these acts supposedly took place. Then a jury wasn't able to find any evidence in those supposed criminal acts. You're claiming a man as guilty with no evidence. That isn't how the law works. Innocent until proven guilty. Until it's proven otherwise, his character and leadership traits hold true. You can't blame a nearly Superbowl/deep playoff-caliber football team for going after an elite QB that was found innocent by a jury looking for any reason to lock him up.

I'm going by what 22 different women described happened. You can choose to believe him, while I lean toward believing them. And what 22 different women described was sick. Just because it can't be proven in a court of law, it's really hard to discount 22 different women's accounts of his behavior. But with it being only Watson and the 22 different women in the room when it happened....it becomes a "he said, she said" thing, and very difficult to prove in a court of law. But it certainly doesn't mean that simply because you can't legally prove it in a court of law, that it did not happen. 22 versions of a story is hard to dismiss. One or two gold diggers trying to get paid, I would be skeptical....but 22 stories all sounding the same? I stand by my opinion, and you can have yours. It's all good, he's not our problem.

So you can continue to think I'm "disgusting", but I believe the 22 women that describe Watson as disgusting. Extremely disgusting. Are you being "objective" about it? Or is the fact that he's a great QB enough for you to conclude that 22 different women are all lying? Do you know how much courage it takes for a woman to come forward when she's a nobody, and make such a claim like that against a extremely popular football star? Trust me, if 22 came forward with the same story, there were many more that didn't want the negative publicity that always goes with it. Victim shaming is a real thing. And yeah, there have been many instances where some woman lied, like the famous Duke lacrosse case, but once again, in this case there are 22 different women. It's hard to find 22 people all willing to lie.

That would be the most boss move ever by Loomis. To pay Terry some big time cash amount that he can’t refuse to go to our top rival, sabotage them and his GM career for a nice five plus years and leave their franchise in ruin for the next few years beyond that.

The hate runs deep between these two franchises.

I agree. I'm so glad we dodged a bullet and didn't get Watson. But I'm still very disappointed that we even tried to get the pervert. All the talk about character and leadership.....blah, blah, blah, it obviously doesn't mean squat if you try to sign some sicko loser like Watson. Winning football games is great and all, but we shouldn't have to sell our soul to do it.

I'm glad that the Saints were aggressive in going after an elite QB. But Watson wasn't my first choice. I thought the Saints should have went after Russell Wilson instead. But I still think that the Broncos were involve with tempering with Wilson and his agent before they were allowed and Goodell simply looked the other way on the whole situation.

But wait and see the punishment that Karama is going to get... It's a double standard.

Wilson had a say in where he went and all indications were that he wanted to go to Denver. Payton retiring probably eliminated us.

 

[JvilleJoe]

Well if he’s a mole our mole jumped into the Watson thing just in time to mess up our deal with him.

Thank goodness!!!

You are right. But still the NFL should have stepped in and discipline the Broncos for tempering. Goodell is out of control to be allow to make rules but not enforce them with some teams.

I’d gladly take Jones and maybe Jarret off their hands.

Really wish we could have gotten Russel Gage.

 

[Thunderchild]

I disagree...we can win with the guy we just signed. Now how about we give him some actual skill players to work with instead of trying to immediately replace him.

Amen. I'm looking forward to what he can do this year.

 

[tim martin]

They had a solid draft no?

The lack of Ryan compensation was on Blank, not Terry. AB is a class act w/ the loyalty for his players, he made Indy do the deal, because Matt wanted to go there.

 

[Day1]

It would be so falcon to allow Fontenot to get the personnel/books in order but can him before he can rebuild. But I'm OK with that. Eat a bag of ducks, Count Chocula.

I understand that Blenk is also concerned about a mole and is trying to lure George Smiley out of retirement.

Want a frightening thought? Atlanta wins only two or three games next year, has the first pick in the 2023 draft, and is set at quarterback for 12 years unlike every other team in the division.
