Report: Saints Called Patriots About Mega Trade

The Saints have reportedly called the New England Patriots about a potential mega trade. The Patriots were able to get back on the winning column in week 2 of the NFL season. They were able to beat a lowly Jets team by holding them to only 6 points. They also picked off the rookie Jets QB 4 times in the beat down.

A new report has come out that says the Saints tried to pick on Gilmore but no deal was made. Apparently, they had a pretty serious offer from the Saints.

They had a few options on the table and called the Patriots before eventually making a deal with the Houston Texans.

This is some interesting stuff. But unfortunately, nothing came of it.

Bill Belichick was very happy about the win against the Jets. He had some thoughts that he shared during his post-game press conference.

“Proud of our football team today. I thought these guys came back and really worked hard all week. I thought we made some improvement from what we did last week. Still, obviously, have a way to go, a lot of things we can do better,” Belichick said following the 25-6 win. “But I thought we did a lot of things better than we did last week. We just gotta keep grinding, keep working, keep stringing these days and weeks together and keep improving our football team. Had a lot of guys step up. Got some turnover opportunities, took advantage of those.”

“Wilson made some pretty impressive throws — that kid’s gonna be a good player — he is a good player. Had a couple big plays offensively. Damien’s run was obviously a big one. Was good to get the ball in the end zone there. … Overall, probably just gotta do a little better job taking care of our scoring opportunities. Nick (Folk) did a good job. (Wind) was kinda swirling out there. Not the easiest day kick. He banged through a lot of big kicks there.”
