How’s it embarrassing? He’s very similar to Brees and has some familiarity with the Saints system.


Because the Saints don’t have the picks it would take to make this trade.

They would have to give up probably Kamara and/or Thomas and/or Armstead for Cincy to even consider it.

Even if you threw all three in, the fact that these guys aren’t on rookie deals (except Kamara - who will be soon), makes them way less valuable to Cincinnati.

Even all three aren’t going to move the needle for Cinci, especially with their cheap arse owner. You need to give up draft capital.

The last trade for the #1 overall cost two firsts, two seconds, and two thirds. A fourth and sixth got sent back. That was for Goff, who was a less clear #1 than Burrow and the first was #15, while the Saints are in the twenties. There’s the floor in negotiations there unless Burrow says he won’t play for them.
