You’d be set at qb for next 10-15 years

Burrow imo is gonna be a great NFL QB. I love MT but I would absolutely make that trade. Normally I’d say you don’t trade unproven (in the NFL) talent for proven talent. I’m just that confident about Burrow. He’s so intelligent, accurate, quick release, athletic, confident, and a good arm. Damn he’s good. Plus you’d save a lot of money lol. I can’t think of another person I’d trade MT for

I’d rather keep Thomas and let Bridgewater or Hill throw to him.

Absolutely. Especially if Brees gone. MT one of my favorite saints but you always take the franchise qb. It would likely take MT and multiple first/second rounders.

We'd have to trade with Cincinnati and they have an immediate need for a QB. They're also notoriously difficult to make trade deals with.

Absolutely

It's a gamble but Burrow looks like an exceptional talent at the most important position. He could set us up for a whole new era after Brees in a way that MT could never

Thomas would be tough because he can be among the league’s best WR for a long, long time.

I would trade Kamara though. This is gonna get downvotes, but I’ve not been thrilled with his play this year (likely due to injuries) and RBs have shorter shelf lives. He’s special, I can clearly see that, but RBs are a dime a dozen. We got him in the 3rd round after all.

Legit long term good NFL starting QBs don’t grow on trees and you must have one to win in this league. It’s a more important position. Burrow has all the tools to be that for the next 10-15 years.

While trading the whole draft for him would be stupid, that trade is a nobrainer.

Even with busts like Russell, Leaf and others almost any team would have traded the top receiver for the number one QB in the next draft.

In the Saints situation it would explode our available cap room with Thomas and Brees contracts gone.

You're asking would you trade CGM for the #1 pick in the draft? First of all Cincy would never make that trade but if they did, yes, you absolutely have to take it.

No, but I’d give them Kamara and our 1st in a heartbeat.
