Matt Corral

The easiest solution to this issue is to draft a quarterback of the future. The 2022 draft class does not have the generational quarterbacks this year, but there are some good options. One of them is Ole Miss’ Matt Corral.

This season with the eighth-ranked Rebels, Corral threw for 3,333 yards, 20 touchdowns and four interceptions while completing 68.3 percent of his passes. Additionally, Corral ran for 597 yards and 11 touchdowns on 145 carries.

With this year’s draft class, much like in other years, it will be up to which teams value which quarterbacks higher. Given that Kenny Pickett of Pittsburgh and Malik Willis of Liberty are destined to go in the first-round and their stocks are rising, Corral could fall into the laps of the Saints, wherever they end up selecting. Bringing him in to learn from Payton could do wonders for the quarterback and the team.

Aaron Rodgers

Everyone is going to be paying attention to what happens next offseason with Aaron Rodgers.

After a much-followed saga dating back to the 2021 NFL Draft, Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers have an agreement in place that would allow him to ask for a trade after the 2021 season if he so chooses. If Rodgers does want out, then Saints executive vice president Mickey Loomis should be spamming Brian Gutekunst’s phone-line.

Rodgers won the NFL MVP award last season by throwing for 4,299 yards, 48 touchdowns and just five interceptions. While he has not put up similar numbers 12 weeks into the 2021 campaign, he has shown that he is the top quarterback in the league.

Through 11 games, Rodgers completed 66.2 percent of his passes for 2,878 yards, 23 touchdowns and four interceptions.

Make no mistake about it, if Rodgers is available after the season, he should be the Saints’ top quarterback target.
