I'm still hoping its 4 first round picks from ATL, because the only interesting player on that roster is Kyle Pitts.  And he's not getting moved.

I believe 3 firsts is the most the NFL allows you to trade

The contract thing doesn't sound like a decision Tepper would have made. He'd have given Watson his firstborn if he asked.

Rhule's wheelhouse is to say what players he wants to keep, cut, extend, etc. but he doesn't necessarily deal in specific contract terms.

That decision would have been made by Fitterer, possibly also Suleiman.

It would be the Saints offensive line and their defense that would have been the biggest pull.

They have to trade someone or the Texans are just complete idiots. How could they want 3 1sts more picks + chinn and burns from us and let the saints get him while keeping all their guys??

THe Saints roster thing confuses me, with Watson the panthers offense would have been better than the saints right? Moore, Watson, cmc > slant boi, kamara and Watson. 

And not to mention, I know he isn't high on many fans' lists here, but outside of Thomas, Robby Anderson is far superior to any other receiver on their roster...  and if TMJ and Shi can play with an NFL QB who doesn't get them murdered, in a functional NFL offense, they are likely better than any other weapon they have outside of Thomas and Kamara.

I dont buy it.  Why would we not want to guarantee 3rd and 4th years on a guy we're trading 3 firsts for and view as our franchise QB?  That's horseshit.

If true that kills the whole Fitterer is a yes man narrative. He may have saved them from selling the farm.

LOL. With this roster? With what QB is that going to happen with? 

I didn't say it would happen, I was saying I am hoping it will happen.... There is a difference.

In all seriousness, the roster isn't all terrible.... I just think they need proper coaching.

I've never bought into the idea that he was,

He doesn't sit at the top of the food chain, but that doesn't make him a "yes man" anymore than it makes John Schneider one.

The roster is okay. Problem is, that doesn't mean poo if you don't have a QB.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
