It all seemed so clear.
No team had spent more time in Louisville this past year, sources told us, than the New Orleans Saints. The Saints had Lamar Jackson in for a recent cozy dinner. There were warm, convivial vibes on both sides, we were told.
It felt like a match made in heaven.
Jackson in New Orleans. Watching Drew Brees. Learning from Sean Payton. A year, maybe two or three, for them to figure out how best to unleash this talent.
