Make the trade, and they are back to needing weapons to win now, but have a potential QB replacement.
Why would they not want to keep their new weapon who is so great we should overpay for him (premise of the thread), and then either trade picks for McCarron in the 2017 season or get him outright in FA just after?
They had a great QB. Brees is near the end of his run. But there isn't any team that would rather have a franchise QB over a franchise WR. Again, I stated clearly I thought the idea was a poor one, but a QB is the most important facet of any team.
