I think the Saints bring Dalton back.
Oh they'll toss some feelers out there and maybe getting that 1st rounder from Denver changes the calculus for them a bit. But it's Miami's 1st, right? The 1st round caliber QBs are gonna be gone by then. And they need too much help to package those picks and move up just yet, IMO.
So they keep Dalton for a bridge year. He was perfectly average for them last year and he probably won't cost much to retain. Now they could elect to move on in pursuit of just bottoming out and getting their QB next season, but if that's their plan, they'd probably be better served to simply trade this years first rounder for a 3rd rounder and a 1st next year or something. Then they enter next year's draft with 2 picks in the first and they just send some scrub like Mariota out there to die this year. [Reply]

Miami's first was forfeit due to Ross tampering with Brady and Payton. New Orleans now has the 49ers first from the Chubb trade. [Reply]
How does this work? Is there a trade in progress? Otherwise, wouldn't this be considered tampering since free agency doesn't start until next month? [Reply]
The Packers would be really dumb to only want to trade Rodgers to the AFC. Love likely isn’t going to make them competitive next year (or maybe the following year), so they should just take the absolute best compensation possible. Who cares if you help an NFC team make the Super Bowl?
Keeping him out of your conference only makes sense if you think your team is a contender to go to the Super Bowl. The Packers weren’t even a playoff team with him. [Reply]
