The Facts: As the Deshaun Watson pursuit heats up and narrows down to just three teams, quarterback news for the New Orleans Saints sees no signs of slowing down. Per USA Today’s Josina Anderson, free agent Winston has met with both the Colts and Saints and presently has an offer from New Orleans made earlier this offseason.

Diehards Line:Having Winston on board to return in case Watson chooses either Carolina or Atlanta as his next destination would mean the Saints are in good shape. If they don’t land their big fish, Winston played very well in their system throwing 14 touchdown passes to only 3 interceptions before his season was cut short by an ACL injury. Winston’s familiarity with the offense, which maintains its continuity with OC Pete Carmichael, would be a large benefit to he and the team. New Orleans has opened up nearly $30 million in cap space, which could be used to build around Winston with pass-catching options to complement the return of star receiver Michael Thomas.
