After finding out about Derek Carr’s retirement plans, the Saints not only regained over 30 million dollars in cap space over the next two years, but they also have a gaping hole at quarterback.
With seemingly no light at the end of the tunnel, Arch Manning would be the obvious idea, and that is only if the Saints got the number one overall pick to secure that chance.
Then you have to be that bad to get it, and if you purposely tan,k the people will call for a punishment.
Arch and the Saints have a lot of history together. His grandfather, Archie Manning, played for them from 1971 to 1982. Arch lived in New Orleans, then moved to Austin to get “somewhere where people don't recognize me as much?” in college at the University of Texas, he’s the hometown kid, and he’s the top quarterback in next year's draft, barring a severe injury.
If you’re going to be bad, then be bad. But if there is an inkling that the Saints won’t be bad enough to get Arch, then you have to think about the best available for the market. New Orleans is going to end up paying someone a lot of money anyway, and Tua is a very good quarterback.
With no real answers of why the quarterback is selling the home, “It's unclear what the signal caller's next move is. Jonathan Mann and Danny Hertzberg, both of Coldwell Banker, have the listing but did not return phone calls for comment.”
According to Paul Owers of Homes.com, it could be suspected that the former No. 5 overall pick might be moved, and New Orleans could be a good situation for a team that needs a quarterback.
