The current Saints Coach/User, and Saints Alma Mater User KooIaide is not satisfied with the current QB room. In what is an intense battle of low-tier QB's it seems that KooIaide (Saints) has announced Spencer Rattler will be their starter 'as of now' due to him outperforming the other Quarterbacks (Tyler Shough, Jake Haener, and Hunter Dekkers) in Training Camp. With Spencer Rattler being announced the starter, KooIaide also has stated in the same interview that he is going to shop around to try to get another QB if possible. It is safe to infer that KooIaide is not comfortable with starting any of the QBs on the New Orleans Saints current roster. Some of the Quarterbacks the New Orleans Saints are going after are mentioned below:
-Sam Darnold-
This is KooIaide's main target, and the most likely trade candidate, as talks with Sam Darnold are further along/more serious than the other candidates mentioned in this article. KooIaide also stated in his interview that he plans to go after Darnold directly to be the Saints starting QB for Season 62. The other reason that this is likely to happen is due to the fact that the Seattle Seahawks are willing to trade Darnold, and openly expressed interest in trading him to the New Orleans Saints. The current Seahawks Coach/User LOB LEGION has openly announced that he will start Jalen Milroe Week 1 of Season 62 due to his high-tier intangibles, and high ceiling to succeed in the MickeyLeague. Darnold not being the starter also makes him a cheaper trade option, and the Saints were also wanting to target Darnold the most due to the fact that he will have a cheaper trade value, as opposed to other Quarterbacks (QBs) on the Saints trade targets list.
-Brock Purdy-
KooIaide (Saints) has maintained a friendly relationship, and is currently friends with godzilla3004 (49ers User/Coach) outside of the MickeyLeague, which makes it easier/more likely for them to trade in this upcoming league. The Saints would be willing to give up a bag to get Purdy as rumoured, and a good enough offer could possibly make godzilla3004 budge due to upside from the trade, and the fact that he can get weapons/picks elsewhere and draft a QB in the next Off-Season. He is also likely to budge on this deal due to their friendship status being solid.
-Joe Milton III-
The Saints have expressed interest in trading for Joe Milton III due to his potential to develop, and his high tier intangible of throw-power. MickeyLeague has also seen Milton III develop into a starting caliber QB last league for seasons 59/60 under Coach/User EgoLying (Current Raiders, and Former Vikings User/Coach) before being benched by Jared Goff when JGAG Squid replaced EgoLying in Season 61. Just because the Saints have expressed interest does not mean that the Dallas Cowboys (iLz Gor) is interested as well. The Dallas Cowboys Coach/User iLz Gor has not announced a set starter, but there is an ongoing QB battle as Dak Prescott gets older, and due to Joe Milton III having better intangibles than Dak. iLz Gor also has a reputation of developing bad QBs into MickeyLeague superstars, and we have seen this when he turned Trey Lance into a Franchise QB, and then an MVP Award Winner despite starting at a low overall. With this being said it is unlikely a deal will be made unless the Saints tarnish themsleves by 'overpaying' for Joe Milton III.
-Joe Burrow-
This trade seems unlikely even though it would be cool to see Burrow play football in Louisiana again due to his legacy at LSU, and how he performed well with the Saints under Evo Hall (Former Saints, and Current Browns Coach/User) in Seasons (59-61). The current Bengals User/Coach (BBGremlinMan), and KooIaide (Saints) have been talking a bit in the trade-talk chat, but it seems that most of it is 'smoke', and will probably not result in an approvable trade.
