We were set to trade the farm for Watson, so why not Lamar?

I can easily see the Saints going all in again to acquire Lamar Jackson.

Because Lamar has been hurt 2 seasons in a row

No thanks

I would, but I don’t think the Ravens will entertain it unless the relationship deteriorates even more

Lamar is a depreciating asset at qb at an age where qbs are entering their prime.
He will never be as fast as he was earlier in his career, he will continue to heal slower, and much of his game is based on his ability to be the best athlete on the field.
Would you want a 31 year old Lamar Jackson having to come back multiple scores in a game without elite athleticism having to only use his arm? There’s a chance that he has a second act of his career where he develops into a McNair, Young type passer but I don’t think I’d want to give up the draft capital AND contract to find out.

You can't trade for a free agent

So he's an UFA. What's a realistic offer that he would accept?
ETA... forgot franchise tag

Do the Saints even have a farm to trade anymore?
Philly has the Saints' #1 pick this year as well as their 2nd round pick next year. I doubt the Ravens would want Thomas and his contract. Especially without QB. All the Saints really have to offer is players.

It was wrong then and it's wronger now.

They thought they were a QB away before this season. Hopefully they've figured out they aren't going into this offseason.

Thomas is always hurt too - trade for Jackson
keep Olave and Shaheed

Watson is a drop back qb that can run. Lamar is a running back that can throw. He wants a guaranteed contract. No way you give that to a running qb or any player really, but especially a running qb.

If the Saints want to go in this direction, find a Lamar in a draft for a lot cheaper.

I tend to agree with you
I would much rather trade for Lamar than Deshaun
I mean, not only is Deshaun a piece of shite, the 2 year leave from the game has also resulted in him playing like shite (which was predictable)
Yeah, Lamar probably only has 4-5 more good-great years.
That would still be fun as a Saints fan. I guess this fanbase would rather roll with Simeian and Andy Dalton types
But I’m not in that boat personally. This team is currently an absolute chore to pull for. It would not be that way with Lamar Jackson on the team.

Seems we thought Watson could win more super bowls

Saints dodged a huge bullet with Watson. The Browns stupidity saved them. Allen was in prime position to make a colossal mistake right off the bat. Lamar is also not someone I would pay fully guaranteed money to considering his skill set. A run first QB with a high probability of injury and below average passing.

I'm starting to think the Saints only got in the Watson sweepstakes to troll Atlanta and Carolina.
seriously, where would the fricking money come from Lebowski?

He wouldn’t play in a playoff game because he’s supposedly hurt, enough said. I get he wants his money, but he took the pussy way out.
