OT: NO will meet with Leinart

[Digger44]

I know NO has Brees locked up, but wouldn't that put a huge panic in everybodies draft plans (Jets, Titans, Ravens,ect..) if NO went ank picked him. I know the #2 overall is valuable, but if NO took Leinart would they get more in a trade than trading out the #2? May be possible.

Apparently Matt doesn't care where he goes, just when.

NFL | Leinart aiming for No. 1

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports USC QB Matt Leinart is switching agents with the intention of being able to move up to the first pick in the NFL Draft. Leinart reportedly plans to sign with agent Tom Condon, who will have a directive to get Leinart to the top spot in the draft, via a trade. Last season's No. 1 pick, Utah QB Alex Smith, received $24 million in guaranteed money, while the No. 4 pick, Texas RB Cedric Benson, received $18 million.

I think N.O. would like nothing more than hype up their interest in Leinart, thereby increasing the trade value of the #2 spot even more. I definitly don't see them taking him just after signing Brees, but why not play the game and increase the value if they can pull it off....? My guess is that's exactly what they are doing....

re

NO is just playing up their #2 to force Tennessee or NY to trade up a few spots.
