Is Bates & Thigpen still downtown on 3rd? Always heard good things about them.

Fair enough. No, I haven’t read the article. Just don’t recall any confirmation of the rumor.

Some people forget that he pushed to hire Mel Tucker;

This was rumored, was it ever confirmed by a legitimate source?

So the Mavs and Spurs get the 2 best and most likely to be stars players in the draft. Great day to be a Pels fan.

Yes, just like I am going to pay him to play TE, block, catch passes out of the backfield, and occasionally start at QB. The metrics from last season show just how much better (night and day) the offense performs when Taysom is on the field. That sort of efficiency jump is well worth his salary.

I’m not arguing Taysom’s production when he’s on the field. That’s a fool’s errand.

My points (questions) are:

1- Does Moore have a role for him in his offense? Is there another specialty player he’d rather use that roster spot on? For instance, keep an extra OL instead. We don’t know.
2- How do the Saints view him RE: age, injury? This is a new coaching staff. See #1. We don’t know.
3- Are they willing to pay him a nice chunk of cap space to likely be a player you aren’t likely to get a full season out of? We don’t know.

Now if Moore does have a “vision for the player” (Paytonism) then I think the answer is obvious. Cap doesn’t seem to be an issue for the upcoming season. Then you keep him. I’m fine with that.

The OP asked “should we”. I think it’s a good time to move on. I’ve always loved Taysom, he’s been amazing. Best case Moore carves out a Swiss Army knife role in his offense, Taysom comes back stronger than ever and doesn’t miss a game. I’m betting against all 3 happening.

people make up the stupidest shite on here i swear.

Ok frick face tell me the equivalent role/player Moore had in any of his previous stops? Or tell me what position he plays well enough to play full time? I love Taysom, I’m asking questions?

The question is how does his previous role with the Saints fit into Moore’s offense? Carmichael’s offense was a carryover of Payton’s, so his multi-position role existed in the playbook. I don’t know if that role fits into what Moore wants to do or if he’s good enough at any single position to warrant a roster spot. Add in recovery from a ligament injury, age, salary… it might be time to move on.

That being said, there’s no doubt in my mind that if Taysom wants to continue playing football he’s going to get himself into the shape to do so. And if he stays relatively healthy, which he hasn’t, he still showed athleticism, speed and power when on the field. If we assume he’d be able to catch on with Denver he’d be a weapon for them.

Not to mention he’s making a killing from NIL deals

We all know he isn't gonna be the guy in 2026, so what are we getting him ready for?

I’m sorry, Howie Roseman. What am I thinking?!

Goodbye, sweet L’Oreal prince! Thank you for your service…
