Is there a majority opinion here on where the Saints should go? Saints are not in need of a major rebuild, but do need to address the offensive side. How would you do it. Take an elite free agent QB or receiver?

Will find out when the Saints offer Winston or don't.

If they offer JW then its filling the holes on offence that most here can see.

If no offer I would expect a splash play at QB which limits all that 'hole fillin'

No where near majority. There is the Winston sucks, Winston should be the guy, Winston is good but the team can improve debates. Then there are the which QB should the team trade for debate.

Team needs to move on from MT debates

Team needs a massive overhaul of online v replace guards conversations

Only consensus is team needs to address WR; regardless of what they do w MT. Also need to improve TE & backup RB, but majority appear to acknowledge this isn’t a major need here

I really don’t think it matters who is under center. We have had winning records with Winston, Bridgewater and Hill. Just have to keep the oline and defense strong.

Think if we can keep the team intact and just bring in a vet receiver like juju or Gallup and just draft bpa every round we will be fine.

Tonight after his loss to Chiefs:

"I've been here a long time and it's been a lot of fun," Roethlisberger said in reflection. "Like I said, God has blessed me. We joke a lot about the Browns and going there but it was meant to be that I was going to wear black and gold."

Uh.... sorry, couldn't help it, lol

Gotta make notable decisions on:

-Winston
-Armstead
-Marcus Williams
-Kwon
-TQS

Then in FA, address these as needed:

-QB (if not Jameis)
-WR
-OG
-OT (if Armstead walks)
-LB (if Kwon walks)
-FS (if Williams walks)

In the draft, the team will likely go with their typical strategy of just getting the best players at their slot. Hopefully it aligns with some of these needs (especially WR, which have a short ramp up in 2022).


Long story short, the list of real needs on this team isn’t very long. The core of the defense will be back, and that defense is elite. The team is capable of getting 30m in the green in cap space fairly easily with no cuts.

So the go forward plan is likely just to figure out QB, grab 1-2 decent FAs, reload in the draft, and hope that with more time together/chemistry + improved health next year, we can come back and make it happen.
