I am fairly certain we already knew the Saints were going to be all in on this. There is probably a reason that was released at the time it was though. Hard to say, very fluid situation.

Funny you didnt mention that yesterday when you were saying the Seahawks were serious contenders for him

Imagine Rhule trying to sell Pickett to Tepper if Watson goes to the Saints,  at least we'll get an actual rebuild. The one thing I'm thinking that would give pause is the Saints reassigned a former shitty HC, but kept the long term OC who we really don't know how much input he had under Payton. For Watson I'd think it's obvious Rhule sucks and the Saints are a gamble, but Tepper may offer him more long term control. 

Not a hard sell as Tepper is a Pittsburgh guy and Pickett is the hometown kid.  Actually, it wouldn't shock me if Tepper liked Pickett more than Rhule.

If the Saints truly are all in, does the price tag go up? If it's a bidding war, would we offer 3 1sts, 2 nds, and 3 key players? 

The situation is interesting with this, because the Texans stand to benefit from a bidding war, while it actually hurts Deshaun's future team.  I don't know that he benefits from waiving his clause for more than the team he wishes to play for (of those that have offered).

When I say "we" I mean the Carolina Panthers. I did not think New Orleans would be a serious contender yesterday, I thought there was no way with lack of resources and cap. That is obviously not the case.

    • Ranks Bryce no.4 behind Stroud/AR/Levis I just don't feel it with Young. And what do I mean by that? Well, firstly, I didn't see any flashes from Young as a rookie. You know, a few games-- maybe not even consecutively -- where he looked confident and poised and that combination led to quality results.  There was the 300-plus-yard effort late in the season against Green Bay that stood out. But even if that game was encouraging, it was thoroughly outweighed by disastrous performances. In my weekly grading project of the first- and second-year quarterbacks in 2023, Young had one "A" grade and two grades in the "B" range. All of his other starts ranged from a "C+" to an "F." Yes, that Packers game was impressive; it's just too difficult for me to see him repeating that type of performance on a regular basis because of his lack of physical tools. He doesn't have a strong arm by NFL standards. It's not brutal, but it's not doing him favors frequently. He's a good athlete but not nearly dynamic enough to repeatedly make defenders miss or scamper away from oncoming defenders often. His accuracy and processing are his two strengths, but neither are so spectacular they negate his hard-to-improve weaknesses. The Panthers did make somewhat of a concerted effort to build around him, trading for underneath separator Diontae Johnson in March before moving up in the draft to select South Carolina's Xavier Legette. I still think Carolina's receiver group will struggle to collectively get open, but the offensive line should be sturdier with free-agent adds Robert Hunt at right guard and Damien Lewis at left guard.  I don't have enough belief in Young's tools, nor the roster in Carolina, to predict Young making a leap in Year 2. 
    • I don't know if you're being intentionally dense or if it just comes naturally but wow. 
    • “99% sure” isn’t completely writing him off? splitting hairs don’t you think? sounds more like you’re being passive aggressive, and keeping that one little percent around just in case, so you don’t have to say you were wrong. speaking of icing up, son… LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL how’s that? amidoinitrite?
