Seriously. I’m so sick of the cap talk. I’ve heard that poo for so..many..years.

It's simply gambling. Most teams just don't take it to the extent the Saints have. There has been no REAL economic recession since 2008 and the covid cap year the Saints had Brees willing to restructure to help them.

The Saints are gambling the cap will go up every year, eventually a recession will happen and they will hopefully be in trouble if Goddell is not comish.

So, what we doing when Watson picks the saints? I might never come back lol. I’m treating this thread potentially as my last hoorah. Think Watson might be the Hail Mary for my fandom. Can’t support this franchise much longer. Being a real fan doesn’t mean blindly following a loser. 

same here dude. i'm soaking up every bit of this because my days are gonna be numbered.

Yup, and then the Texans have to further negotiate. Sounds like the Falcons don't even have their trade package together to get an interview. Everyone is so impatient 

Like I said, the fact that HOU and the league are allowing him to meet with a team who are realistically completely incapable of putting together a trade package for him that would a)compensate HOU, and b)fit him on the roster under the cap while still keeping enough people to play on a Sunday.

Its a fuging insult to us.  

And furthermore, makes me think the NFL is tampering with the whole situation like they do every other fuging thing we're ever involved in to fuging screw us.  If he liked us and we have the best package of compensation, why the fug are we here????

The NFL is steering him elsewhere.

If Watson chooses us fine.  If not fine.  Everyone has torn down the Panthers to make them look like total idiots but you have to pick your side now.  If you want Watson and we get him there are no more complaints from you.  You don’t get to bitch later.  Sorry

And like I said, at this point, our best bet is to try to go ahead and sign the pieces NO is banking on to lure him in with Armstead and Fuller, but instead of acting like NO and ATL do with us, we're run by a bunch of spineless pussies who want to sit on their hands and hope that we both a) don't offend anyone and b) Watson is blind to our dysfunction.  fuging idiots.

The whole reaching out to Atlanta thing is still weird because it’s a knock on NO and Cleveland too…not just us

He's probably never going to have a chance to meet with them again in his career. Grew up a Falcons fan. Worked for them as a ball boy. They aren't a realistic option here for a number of reasons. Just chill.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that would could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch him.  If he regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.

      He did himself more harm than good by engaging in this ridiculous legal battle. One it brought to light how much gambling he was actually doing and two it made him a very unlikable figure from a public perspective because he was challenging the perceived sanctity (lol) of college sports. Then to make things worse his lawyers convinced a very stupid and very gullible old boomer judge to agree with him. Now he’s a lightning rod entering the league and that’s not a good place to be.
