I really would not count this out. SP has taken an interest in Jimmy awhile ago.
Saints coach, and ex-EIU QB, Payton has special interest in Garoppolo
And there are some aticles on SP trying to get Jimmy in the draft. There is no secret that BB and SP have some mutual pack. We have traded players back and forth.
I do agree also Cam is a scam also. We call him Vick 2.0.
Couple of problems to the trade is Brees is still pretty good. The Saints would have to commit to Jimmy as the next Fanchise QB. How well does Jimmy perform with a pretty sad defence, and one I think of , how much does BB care if Jimmy is successful.
If I could pick as a QB any team to command, NO would be pretty high on my list. Solid OL, decent RB's, extremely young and good WR core. with decent TE's.
NO has about 30 million in cap space, and Brees is year to year. So 2017 is out of the question, but a trade could happen.
But.. and I think the huge but is.. does BB want to trade Jimmy to a good team were he can have offensive success in his career, and possibaly his own future, or does he just want the draft picks? .. and another QB in mind.
I dont think NO can compete or should compete if its about draft picks and all about money. Brees is more than capable as a QB to carry the team for a few years more, and maybe even get 1 more shot. They are a decent defence away.
Jimmy could have great numbers in NO, and maybe even a ring. With the Browns, Jets, LA, etc.. he runs the risk of having no chance and falling in QB absurdity. It not being his fault at all. Think there are alot of things in play with the JG trade, but we really respect this kid as a QB. But Im not sure we can afford him after Godell wasted the team.
We had to spend alot of money to replace guys Godell suspended.
