CAR has been in the running for Dwatson since the beginning and haven't waivered (they paused while waiting for outcome but never said deals off the table like other teams).

That kind of loyalty may mean a lot to Dwatson - especially if Dwatson believes he's innocent and CAR was the only team that stood by him.

And being closer to family maybe since he grew up in GA.

Saints showed interest in him last season.

Panther selling points;

We have CMC, Moore

Watson likes the area

Not really much else

Saints selling points:

Kamara 

Thomas

Mark Ingram & Bradley Roby (former teammates...I'm sure that Ingram has been on the phone with him)

Watson "liked" several of MT's social media posts.

New Orleans.

Ingram isn't a selling point nor is Roby.  Thomas hasn't been healthy in like 2 years.  What players would the Saints be giving up??

More desirable city: Atlanta

Closer to home: Atlanta

Better coaching staff: Cleveland

Better ownership: Toss up

Better roster: Toss up

Better chance of making the Playoffs: Toss up

 

It's pretty much just a where does he want to live during the season, and which team will take him farther scenario, IMHO.

      Some Thoughts on Legette based upon an ex-scout's ranking him WR1 in the draft

      By strato · Posted

      Oh yeah the QB is huge in this stuff. Imagine what Smitty could have done with a surgeon back there. And some more offensive minded head coaches. It was always run heavy. He was one of the best I ever saw and people didn’t know who he was outside of Carolina, for the longest time.

      Front office/scouting staff changes

      For sure, any college scout that touted Bryce Young as worth the first overall pick, needs to be gone. I don’t think the college scouts are so much the issue, I think it is the minds of the decision makers that have the most influence.  If this draft produces, and Morgan was really in charge, maybe Tepper will develop some respect and stay back and let people work.

      Every Xavier Legette target 2023

      I just am not aware of regimens that offer increased velocity which is the biggest weakness I can see in Young (that needs addressing right now). Is it possible to do? Who has done it that we can see as an example? I guess I am saying before I believe weights will give him added zip on the ball, I would want proof that it works.    I think weight room would help him not be pulled down by two fingers, even if they are big strong DL fingers. They are still fingers controlling 185 lbs. So that needs to be addressed but it is a secondary issue behind his footwork and ball velocity. It might help too, in allowing him to retain some velocity while not putting 100% effort into throws. Which should help his ‘deep’ ball.  I agree they can’t fix his footwork on those pistol or gun snaps where he slowly goes backwards and does the tippy toe thing.  Maybe putting him under center and taking the option of that type of drop away from him, forcing him into the classic under center style. Drop and plant and throw. Maybe that would help get around it.
