Well, the Saints are clearly better than Atlanta—simply by virtue of the fact that they have a defense—but they’re not going to be in good shape after what they’re going to have to give up to land Watson. And I really don’t think anyone’s going to be worried about Thomas at this stage…Atlanta was in playoff contention too, until they lost to the Bills in week 17. They were both in a horrible division and played extremely weak schedules.
The Falcons are a bad team…adding Watson and stripping themselves of practically all of their premium draft picks for next few years hardly seems like a formula for success. On top of that, I really don’t think Watson will ever be the same player again.
And whichever team trades for Watson will be giving up a ton of high draft picks and players for the right to make this degenerate the face of their franchise…not worried at all.
I could not agree more. Watson is a sick degenerate and I’m sure most of his future teammates will recognize that. Any team that trades a huge number of picks/players for him will live to regret it.
I have full confidence in McBeane’s ability to fill the hole left by a departing CB2 like Wallace…zero concern. We can also be certain that a solid plan already exists.
Now that we’ve plugged the hole at DT with a couple solid (and affordable) FA signings, can we rest easy about the Bills squandering the 25th pick on Jordan Davis? I’d much rather watch him eat himself out of the league on some other team…
They play very different positions…Williams’s elite status is based on speed and explosiveness…any negative effects from the injury/surgery would mean he’s just not the same player…
I agree with this…look, neither of these teams was going anywhere, so why the hell not? Denver goes from a snooze fest to a fun team to watch, and Seattle gets 2 or 3 new starters plus a ton of premium picks to help their rebuild…
