Arians is one overrated coach. 

Not as a quarterback coach, he isn't.

As a head coach you can make an argument, but the man does know how to coach quarterbacks.

Apparently Winston turned down a contract from the Steelers, so cam to the Steelers might be in play 

My mom would love this. My grandfather is a Steelers fan, and my mom was one before Cam came.

He just had one of the best in the league in Arians. 

 

The "Quarterback Listener" is still available on Amazon.

And I don't know why everyone is assuming Winston will be the 3rd stringer.  He has more career receptions to saints players (10) than Hill does (7).

Which you will trade up for a 6th rounder again.

Naw, we traded our original 3rd rounder, not the comp pick.

And it was a 2021 3rd to swap 2020 3rd’s to move up 14 spots and receive a 2021 7th.

Yeah Palmer not Warner that was Dennis Green. Also 45 year old Tom Brady is better than 25 year old Winston. 

I doubt that. Mother nature is undefeated. You may take her to overtime, but in the end she wins.

All NFL contracts hinge on an official physical that is successfully passed...

...clearly Jameis had one.

The repeated suggestions that Cam's lack of employment is due to inability to get a physical is just laughable...

Good point.  Although that may be why it has only been announced that they "have agreed to terms" and not actually signed the contract?

I was actually starting to think that this approach was the saints skirting league rules and trying to take Winston off the market while simultaneously trying to fit him under the cap.

Also, any actual signing before June 1 will affect comp picks so I am sure the saints aren't pushing the matter.  But at the same time they reap the benefits of taking him off the market.  I wish some other team (not mine) would push this and try to top the saints offer.

Hopefully y’all will offer him $20M+ and land us another 3rd round compensatory pick...

Depending on how much you paid him, you might cancel it out

[Mr. Scot]

Word it is that the deal is now official (one year only).

Per the Saints, Winston will be third string behind Drew Brees and Taysom Hill.

Yikes, any word on how much?
