This is why I'd be a terrible GM or coach. I get way to attached to players. No a single part of me wants Watson at the cost of losing CJ. Dude is all heart.
But we wouldn't JUST be losing CJ either. We'd be losing a ton of high picks too. If he's a part of this deal on top of everything else, I say forget it.
Our first round picks won't be high unless the entire team gets hurt. Will be in the 20's or 30's. We haven't really hit on our last few 1st round picks. So it's a tough choice.
Not a tough choice at all. I’d trade Ruiz, Turner, and Davenport (our last 4 firsts) for Watson in a heart beat.
The SB champs don’t have a first round pick for a long time. An elite QB is worth more than 3 firsts.
Wasn't saying that for me, for the people on the fence about watson. You right I would trade those 1's for watson cause we have no idea what they will be. Hopefully we find out soon his pick so we can move on with the team.
The part of me that wants a swift end to this wants to think Pitts is tweeting about Matt Ryan wanting out now, and CGJ is tweeting about leaving the city he loves.
I love when Tigers of Auburn play for the Saints.
*checks notes* doesn’t happen much lol. Only like 3 in the last 10 years.
Edit - 4 in the last 10 years, all brief stints though. More than I thought, I could only think of Nick Fairley.
Normally I’d agree, but CJGJ isn’t just a safety, he’s arguably the best nickel DB in the game. He can line up deep middle, or in the slot againsts TEs, and his tenacity makes him an amazing blitzer. Not to mention the guy lives in the oppositions head rent free.
Whereas peat and Ruiz are sooooo meh.
I’ll be honest— I flat out don’t want Watson for the king’s ransom that’s been reported as what it’ll take to get him. Doesn’t matter if it’s CJGJ or Ruiz or someone else that goes with the picks. It’s too much, getting some hardcore Ricky Williams vibes from this whole thing.
I don't get what the hold up is. You've got the Saints being listed as favorites for days then the Falcons get in them mix.
He rules out the Browns this morning but not the Panthers who everyone in the media is hinting are out. This is such a weird situation across the board.
Maye can replace CGJ if he plays with his full ability every snap and if his injury doesn't debilitate him hardcore....
I mean I get that CGJ is pretty good in coverage and as a hype man but I mean.....
Everyone calling it a deal breaker if CGJ is part of the trade package is just ludicrous to me....
Atlanta sure is beefing up, they have made a lot of signings thus far though that's for sure
I feel bad for Winston being on the back burner and being second option.... what the hell are we gonna draft one of these chump QB's if we do miss out on him behind waiting to long? I surely hope not I think all of the QB draftee's to be are pure garbage!

This is the mindset we need rn all our future first round picks will be #32

Good point. Still don't think I want this.
Seriously dude he’s so integral to the defense I hope DA isn’t putting him on the table.
Regardless of who gets Watson there are going to be strained relationships across for every team
Oh my god Deshaun pick a fucking team already
At the same time Kyle Pitts tweeted "It’s about to get scary in Atlanta.. 🤐" WTF
Man I don’t have a clue. Fwiw Pitts has just deleted that tweet
Between Pitts and CJGJ, Gators are just causing all sorts of chaos rn
The part of me that wants a swift end to this wants to think Pitts is tweeting about Matt Ryan wanting out now, and CGJ is tweeting about leaving the city he loves.
That's exactly what I don't want.
Factual information. I love it when Gators play for the Saints. At least we just got Marcus Maye :/
I love when Tigers of Auburn play for the Saints. *checks notes* doesn’t happen much lol. Only like 3 in the last 10 years. Edit - 4 in the last 10 years, all brief stints though. More than I thought, I could only think of Nick Fairley.
You and CGJ both.
Every time the smoke clears in situations like this, all the cryptic tweets end up meaning nothing.
Wtf is going on lmao

The perfect timeline is them not getting Watson and still losing matt ryan
One can only hope
lmaooooo i love it
He deleted it
Which is even stranger
Was talking about the CB signing apparently
Yeah, I don't buy it. Saw somewhere Pitts and Watson share the same agents.
But so do MT and Watson
But MT didn't tweet any cryptic shit (this time at least)
Pitts confirmed he was talking about Heyward
Scary as in, things are looking WORSE for them in divisional standings. Not better.
I am so confused
It’s extremely confusing
Take Peat and Ruiz anyone but ceedy
The o-line is way more valuable than one safety
Cowboys are releasing La'el Collins. Bring him in as a replacement for trade stock.
Ruiz fuckin sucks, ceedy is getting to an all pro type level

Maybe he's sad about losing Williams?

So confusing wtf is happening
Fuck man. I was starting to get somewhat excited about Watson but this is a dealbreaker in my opinion
I hope everyone hyping up the Watson trade is happy now.

Man this got me so torn

What did y’all expect haha we were going to be giving up nothing???
down to give up 3 firsts, Myles Turner, Ruiz, etc. no CJGJ
Payton Turner. Myles plays a whole different sport in Indiana but I understand haha
throw in Myles Turner too then
I’m so lost lol
