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..

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.

Why the f*ck would ANYONE, EVER, take Silver Platter Sam in a trade?!? 🤦‍♂️

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.

Allbright reporting that Tepper has told DW he can pick the next HC. 

A. No.

B. THEN WHY IS RHULE STILL EMPLOYED IN THE FIRST PLACE

 

 

 

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.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
