They were not vetting at all. They asked Foster to put his girlfriend on the line and Coach Payton was asking the girlfriend if she was ready to be supportive and give guidance to Foster etc , while Coach is asking these questions a call comes through and it is John Lynch letting Foster know he is a 49er. Per Peter King this all happened with seconds left of Seattle being on the clock.

What I think happened is Saints thought Foster was in the bag and Seattle was taking Ram. Coach jumped the gun and called Foster as they were that certain Seattle wasn't taking Foster.

Well here's my issue with this then.

Us calling with seconds left means the trade was in the works before we called and likely made before we called. So we didn't frick up if that's really the case.

Secondly, people knocking holes in the theory of us calling to intentional tip our hand dismiss it as crazy because teams don't know who's calling who, but then say we fricked up calling early because then the 9ers somehow knew we were about to take him. Which fricking way do you want it?

So if that is the case then this is just much ado about nothing.
