The New Orleans Saints have an open door for the long-term answer at quarterback, which means they should open themselves up for any possibility at the position.
While most teams find project quarterbacks in the draft, could the Saints be interested in trading for one? Anthony Palacios of Last Word On Sports recently put together a list of teams that may be interested in trading for New England Patriots backup quarterback Joe Milton. New Orleans was included in that group.
This is what Palacios had to say about the potential move:
Making this move would be just about getting better a year from now. Milton is as raw as a player could get, but is more exciting of a passer than the Saints have had since Drew Brees.
The 24-year-old only saw limited play as a rookie, playing one game, but he looked very good while doing it. In a win over the Buffalo Bills, he completed 75.9% of his passes for a touchdown and no interceptions.
Milton has a rocket for an arm, but he showed more touch than expected as well. While it shouldn't be at the top of their to-do list, given that Rattler is already on the roster, New Orleans could at least consider making a move.
