No more Watson threads. Use this one or one of the other 20 existing ones.

It was posted on twitter that if Darnold is in the trade, we can end up with 40m in cap space with restructuring for free agency this year 

And if Darnold isn't in the trade?  The Texans aren't obligated to him.

It doesn't matter, once he's inked the Saints can do contract gymnastics to get under the cap.  They always do.  Watson could care less about their cap situation as long as their core players stays intact for the time being.

Core players?? Huh

Rb facing charges and 1 WR coming back after sitting for the year..

The Oline is losing Atleast 2 major parts..

And without draft picks and Money how do they add talent.. They are already going to have to move heaven and earth to make this happen..

Probably to acquire 3 first round picks a 2nd and two young defensive studs

The 1st Hurdle is getting Watson okay anyway.. So letting him meet and then hashing out the deal is the way to go... There deal might be the 2nd best they can get but keeping the ruse of a 2 or 3 team race is still beneficial no matter what the offers really are... 

Especially with teams dropping off like the Bucs and the Vikes..

Well, the first hurdle is getting the Texans' permission to meet with him. And I don't think that would happen unless there was a realistic framework they were willing to accept.

The bigger question is probably whether the Saints can sell Watson sufficiently on their cap situation and coaching staff. Tepper's going to tell him Rhule's gone after this year if Watson wants him gone. Will the Saints be willing to do the same And beyond that, if the Saints can get $35M open by Wednesday, can they sell Watson on the future? They can restructure him, but they'll have to kick down the road whatever they convert to signing bonus out of that.

Did anyone else catch Albright saying this?

At this point, I'm not believing anything unless it comes from someone like Rapsheet, Schefty, Tom Pel, etc.

If that's true, which I doubt, it's even more pathetic than I thought Tepper could get.  A guy like Brady, Rodgers, champions with years of success and service to their franchises and good moral character, those guys getting a say I understand.  But handing the keys over to Watson to make personnel decisions?  Why don't we just let him run our drafts?  Or come up with the gameplans?  Or make roster decisions?

 

Embarrassing.

Maybe because we didn't know what the outcome of the legal proceedings would be so it was too late to fire Rhule this late in the season.
