This is also something you might say to limit incoming offers

It's easy to say "he's our future" when you really just want other teams to believe you'd drive up the price to get Taysom beyond what they're willing to do .

And you can still make him the backup once you have him locked down if you choose to do so later. Easy thing to tweet.

Saints rolling with Taysom if Brees doesn’t return.

The Saints keep saying this but he was not the backup last season

TNT

I thought it was obvious why Taysom wasn’t the backup last season

fredetteaboutit13

It's just posturing, teams do this every offseason

This seems too obvious. 27yo Franchise QB isn't 3rd string.

IF Taysom’s smart, he’ll take the biggest offer he gets and blow town

Lifi

I agree. His focus should be on a short term paycheck.

Belboz

1/27/20 12:17pm

He is RFA. He is not likely going to get a lot of offers. Few teams will think

Baron

1/27/20 12:18pm

Probably because he knows a bit more about the situation and possibilities

basman

If money is the factor agreed.

SouthernBlueBlood

1/27/20 12:59pm

Because Sean Payton is a top tier coach who will help him maximize his ability

puntersarepeople

1/27/20 2:03pm

^^^^this, I think Taysom may struggle with another coach who may not know how to

Let's get real. Saints saved Taysom's NFL career. Saints have done him well. Not

MajorZeus

He should get as much money from New Orleans as possible and stay there.

PJMort

1/27/20 5:43pm

Because he's having a blast playing a huge role for them and it doesn't have

1/27/20 7:53pm

The only issue I have with this take is what we just saw LaMar Jackson do

Y05

1/28/20 3:49am

I assume this means they will sign Taysom, say goodbye to Teddy, and wait

Mister P

1/27/20 12:17pm

they want Taysom on the field. So I would assume he will either start at QB or

BYUheaven

1/27/20 12:19pm

Which means they might just try to get another serviceable 3rd-string QB.

DraperCoug22

If Breese goes, they have to keep Bridgewater

chazen

1/27/20 3:22pm

No, they don’t

VAcougar24

1/27/20 4:25pm

Reports that I read indicated that the #2 QB would be let go by New Orleans.....

BleedCougarBlue2

1/28/20 12:58am

I thought Jordan Love was the next Saints QB?

letthewookieewin

1/27/20 12:18pm

Nah, he'll be off the draft board by the time the Saints pick.

RdF3

1/27/20 12:18pm

Well, he's going high, that's for sure.

squidmark

1/27/20 4:49pm

Why laugh at this—He’ll be a top 15 pick most likely

22jrob22

1/27/20 5:00pm

No way Jordan Love goes in the top 15 — no way he's even taken in the . . .

fruitless

1/27/20 5:16pm

You couldn’t be more wrong. Barring an unforeseen event, he will.

RdF3

1/27/20 5:21pm

Let’s bet then. I’ll split the difference—First round. What are the stakes??

22jrob22

1/27/20 5:39pm

Do you follow the draft at all?

IceBlueCoug

A franchise QB or THEIR franchise QB?

BlueFrog

1/27/20 12:26pm

If the Saints value Taysom as a QB... why did they start Bridgewater over Taysom, when Brees went down?

Coug

1/27/20 12:27pm

i think it is coach speak. or management speak. my opinion is they want Taysom as a SAK, not QB1 so they will throw

BlueFrog

1/27/20 12:32pm

Either set the mark high so no one will go after him or, if they do, they'll get more than adequate compensation for

foofcoug

1/27/20 12:41pm

Ultimately the offers will be driven depending on the Tender they place on TH

Cougero

1/27/20 2:17pm

I think he gets a 1st round tender and no one gives him an offer sheet and he stays in NO on that 1 yr deal until UFA

BlueFrog

1/27/20 2:30pm

I actually think that would be the best case scenario for Taysom

Cougero

1/27/20 2:34pm

yep. one more year of growth (and hopefully more than 7 total passes) and then next year see if

BlueFrog

1/27/20 2:37pm

They'd go with Teddy if the price was right IMO.

Mister P

1/27/20 12:33pm

Agreed.

diluigifan

1/27/20 1:43pm

Maybe to build trade value, if they really want Taysom. Teddy said he wants to

Ironhide

TB is proven. Was a starter and a star before his injury.

Say it ain't so!

1/27/20 12:45pm

I mean the guy was on the verge of joining a VC Firm....what a turn.

1/27/20 12:46pm

Until Taysom signs a new deal, it's all just posturing.

1/27/20 12:59pm

Until Brees retires, it's all right up there with unicorns, leprechauns and free health care.

HuskerFan2

1/27/20 1:24pm

It all comes dow n to Brees. He is owed 21 million. If he comes back there is

Cougz19

1/27/20 2:31pm

I think Brees comes back.

Cougero

1/27/20 2:35pm

I'm a huge Taysom fan with what he's done with the Saints, but that's a HUGE roll of the dice.

SpiffCoug

1/27/20 4:39pm

better have a good backup plan

icecougar

I've said it once, I'll say it again: the Taysom Hill haters at the Trib and....
