Looks like the Saints just restructured Marcus Davenport's contract to save them just under 7 million on the cap this year. Still nowhere near what they need for DW.

Interesting because it also knocks out what you would assume would be one of their few attractive pieces in a trade.

yet national media thinks Saints... none of this adds up. 

The national media WANTS the Saints.  They are a much bigger product than we ever were. Hell people don't even know what city the Panthers play in or what state Charlotte is even in.  New Orleans, while a "small market" has a fanbase 10x what we have.

Record isn't everything. Personality matters and Rhule is arrogant about his abilities and puts blame on others when it doesn't belong there. That tends not to sit well with people. 

Don’t misconstrue his media appearances with how he’s perceived by players. All his players love him and are very vocal about it.

They keep saying that a decision is likely to come tomorrow - at least thats the prevailing theory now.  And the Houston media and the Charlotte media all believe that Carolina is the leader right now. 

I’m a little behind reading today but do you have any updates from Houston media saying we’re leading? Only thing I’ve seen is national media saying Saints.

Exactly.  Apparently Houston is more than willing to just let Watson sit on the bench for another year and eat his salary.  They're not going to take pennies on the dollar just because he wants to go somewhere like Atlanta.  So, that no trade clause aint all its cracked up to be.  He could say "I will not accept a trade anywhere but Atlanta" and Houston could say "Have fun playing Safety on the Practice Squad for the next 4 years". 

Maybe not pennies on the dollar but probably 75c on the dollar versus sitting him another year in which has value then decreases to that 75c anyways.
