According to a team source, they want 3 first rounders, 3 second rounders, and a Pro Bowl-caliber player.

So basically the exact opposite of what BOB’s trade philosophy was.

They are crazy. No player is worth that.

I think that's the point. They're not moving him.

Well no one is going to pay that price lol.


IF im the Saints i put an offer on the table of like 2 firsts, and then one of Ramczyk/Davenport/Thomas and just say "thats available".

having a top 5 QB for the next 6-9 years is worth it, IMO

ETA: Especially the way the Saints roster is currently constructed

A top 5 QB is absolutely worth that, but Watson is not a top 5 QB and will be getting $40 million a year starting in 2022.

The way the roster was constructed 2 years ago, I would agree.

As it stands at this moment? No way.

1. Saint are WAY over the cap

2. There's 5 starter/high volume contributors going into free agency this year alone (Hendrickson, Williams, Cook, Rankins, and Anzalone). Going into '22 (Ram, Lattimore, Brown, Smith, Harris, Tuttle, etc)

3. 3 years of top 2 round picks essentially can potentially be:
2016
1. Sheldon Rankins (was becoming an elite DT before his achilles injury)
2. Michael Thomas (top 5 WR) or Vonn Bell

2017
1. Marshon Lattimore (potential top 10 CB) or Ryan Ramczyk (top 5 RT)
2. Marcus Williams (top 10 safety) or Alvin Kamara (top 5 RB)

2018
1. Marcus Davenport (promising DE)
3. Tre'Quan Smith (#3 WR)

Not including a 'pro bowl caliber' player they want.

Continuing to draft that way, you can find a QB somewhere else. Hell it could take a while, but good drafting can carry okay QB play (look at philly and LA Rams). Trading 3 years of top end picks like that as it stands, you'll have issues

Watson was easily a top 5 QB this past season with a bunch of randos and cook playing WR

The Texans have been searching for a franchise QB for their entire existence. They finally get one, and in his 4th year people are talking about trading him?

WTF?

Stills, Fuller, and Cobb are not just “randos” dude. He also had Coutee and two very good receiving backs as well.

Watson put up great fantasy numbers that did jackshit for his team. He’s Kirk Cousins.

Seriously he’s a terrible defensive coordinator and GM. And the way he made Coutee fumble on the way into the end zone vs the Colts, atrocious

Just because you want to give him all the credit for their success and no blame at all for their failures does not make him a top 5 QB.
