I'm pretty sure hes one of the few who dont need the money.....

Not to mention he is the next generation Manning.... you'd better bet his grandfather and uncles want the legacy to continue.

Oh for those tired of the Mannings I have bad news, Peytons son Marshal already has college teams after him and he isn't even in HS until this fall...

 

I'd wager we have two Mannings in the NFL in 2030

If we suck I hope we land Sellers. Ideally we are picking closer to 20 next draft

Taking all emotion out of it, this season Bryce needs to break out or we need to break up.  If we are sniffing the top 10, then he ain't it.  At that point we need to look at drafting a QB.  You know that the Saints, Browns, Steelers and Jets will be in the QB market.  Possibly the Giants, Raiders and Seahawks too.  There will be stiff competition for the top guys.  I doubt we are top 5 and that's what it's going to take to land Sellers.  Again, the Saints are tanking for QB1.  Arch Manning going to his grandpa's old team lines up almost too perfectly.

D Carr must have really disliked the saints to wait and do this announcement after the draft has passed if he made this call a few weeks before the draft sure they would have approached it and the offseason differently.  oh well will be interesting to see how their qbs perform.  would love to see them roll with Thill and just make the whole offense towards his skillset.  Although sadly would be only playing in about half the games with how often he gets injured.

This is the Saints current QB room, a 2nd round rookie and former 4th and 5th round QBs.  Pretty sad when Rattler is your best option even though Shough is tops of their depth chart for right now. Dude would have been a day 3 guy in the 2024 QB class right there with Rattler.  A paper thin QB class pushed Shough to a day 2 pick.  Expect them to sign a veteran before training camp.

Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

Yup, and they will end up with a top 5 pick in an apparently deep (for now) 2026 QB class. Knowing our luck, if we decide to move on from Bryce in two years, it will likely be a thin QB class.

Saints would have been wise to skip QB this year anyway, get some good players in preparation for the qb they will take in the 1st next year.  OT was the perfect pick for this scenario, and they have a good chance at picking 3rd or 4th next year.

If they are smart they would trade any and everything of value for pennies on the dollar to get draft capital and ensure a top 3 pick.  Kamara has value, campbell, see if anyone bites on olave.   Rip that bitch to the studs.

I thought that is what we were going to do when we traded McCaffrey.
