Michael Silver: "keep an eye on" the Saints in trade talks for Antonio Brown.

Mike Silver of NFL Network said to "keep an eye on" the Saints in trade talks for Antonio Brown.

It's unclear if Silver is reporting this or merely speculating, though New Orleans would obviously be an ideal landing spot for the veteran wideout. Pairing Michael Thomas with a future Hall of Famer in AB would make the Saints' passing game nearly unstoppable. The problem, of course, is that Thomas is up for an extension and paying both him and Brown would be difficult to pull off. As it stands now, the Saints have just under $13 million in available cap space, fifth-fewest among the league's 32 teams. The Saints could certainly benefit from adding another top-level pass-catcher, though Brown landing in New Orleans is probably just a pipe dream.

The media is creating speculation. Literally no one has inquired in that fuging loser. Even San Fran was like nope, we don't want him. However, if the Saints get him, i'll lose my mind. I guess you can't say the league letting them get away with poo after the championship game, but damn, the cap is garbage.

I believe their cap clears up big time after next season

Maybe after Bree's 

Also Michael Thomas is going into his final year of his contract.

Also Von Bell

 

 

Saints also only have 12.5 mil in available Cap space.  And AB is due 15 this year

Oh and Saints still have Mark Ingram and Teddy Bridgewater hitting FA

I guess they think they can get guys to play for them for free because like everyone is saying not a lot of cap room and then there is the draft.  Yeah, they can get all there players from the draft.  But they have 2 picks in the first 5 rounds.  Thanks to all the trading for Bridgewater and to move up last year they have a 2nd and a 5th.  Then they have some 6 and 7 round picks which with the way they are going are going to need to be starters day 1.  I don't see how they could do it but I am not a GM.

I just looked, they only have 21 players under contract for 2020, with $106M available prior to adjusted cap. Will be interesting.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
