My friend texted me about thirty minutes ago that trade talks featuring Russell Wilson were getting hot and heavy, and that the Saints were certainly in the mix to push to get him. Bears also thoroughly in the mix.

If they trade for Wilson, the math to get them under the cap might be something that would make Pythagoras throw up his hands and walk away.

Saints have the best CAP magician in the NFL, would not be a problem.

Nevermind.

I see no way they pull this off unless seattle takes a ton of big salaries.

Hot and heavy as in, with us?  Or just in general?  I assume in general, because we weren't among the teams he listed that he would accept a trade to.  

That being said, as far as the Saints go, I don't care anymore...  Loomis figured things out, and they are going to be a thorn in our ass for a longtime.  Have Wilson as their QB wouldn't be much different from having dealt with Brees all these years.  I was hoping for some kind of fall off coinciding with Brees leaving, but I've accepted there likely won't be...  I hate to say it, but they are one of the best run front offices in the NFL.

To be clear, Trade talks between the Panthers and Seahawks were getting hot and heavy and the Saints are in the mix? 

Wilson named only four teams he'd be willing to waive his "no trade" clause for. We weren't one of them.

The Saints and Bears were both on the list. I think the other two were the Cowboys and the Raiders.

      Down in Atlanta....

      Exactly this as well.  Beyond age concerns--by the time they find out if they have something in Penix, they'll need to work on a new contract not long after.  The newer league winning QBs have gotten extensions by year 3 (ie. Burrow).  So, if Penix somehow lights it up year 3, he could turn around fairly quickly, probably by year 4, and ask for an extension.  ATL has really no buffer time in easing the bucks off the QB room to build a team around him.  Not to mention, they'll be needing to make decisions on Terrell, London, Pitts, Bijan, a lot of high end investments BEFORE seeing Penix through, and that's IF he works out.   Lindstrom's contract is backloaded too and they can't cut Matthews until after 2026.   Just a terrible use of resources as it relates to timing & salary allocation, no matter how you look at it.   You're in win now, so get a talent to win now.

      How short a leash will Young be on?

      By bandu · Posted

      it's  already going to be painful enough watching Caleb Williams throw TD passes to DJ Moore on a regular basis week in & week out   & naturally not sit there & reflect back & say to yourself woulda shoulda coulda especially if Bryce Young never looks remotely similar to a #1 pick

      Agreed.  I would expect most realistic fans to tamper their expectations.  There is a scenario where we simply over drafted him at 1, but he still has a solid career and can become a franchise QB.  That is what I am curious to find out.  Does he have what it takes to become the guy.  If he can somehow do any of the stuff you stated in year two then fantastic, but that's not where my head is at judging by his rookie play and the state of the franchise.
