We recently asked readers to identify their favorite move of the New Orleans Saints this offseason. The results are in — more than adding players like Jarvis Landry, Tyrann Mathieu, or Chris Olave, Saints fans are happiest with the move that wasn’t made: trading for Deshaun Watson.
What Watson brings to the field — if he is not suspended (but more on that later) — is undeniable. Watson is an MVP-caliber quarterback in a tier alongside players like Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers. In his last season as quarterback of the Texans, Watson led the NFL in passing yards while throwing for 33 touchdowns against only 7 interceptions in the 2020 season.
