When it became apparent that Civil War was inevitable in the United States, President Lincoln asked his best general, a man named Robert E. Lee, to lead the union forces into battle. Torn by his loyalty to his country and his state, Lee famously responded to the President that he would wait and see if Virginia would secede or not before making his decision. As goes Virginia, so will I go.

Terron Armstead is one of the hottest properties in the NFL. The 3 time Prow Bowl offensive tackle is being courted by virtually every team in the league, with Miami and Chicago trying to outdo each other for his attention. He will command a salary in the region of $60 million. But with each passing day, there is a frustrating silence from Armstead. What is holding him back?

The rumor circulating the league is that, like General Lee, Armstead is waiting to see where Deshaun Watson goes before he decides what to do next. The New Orleans Saints players have lobbied hard for Watson and are very keen to play with the Texans quarterback.

Saints' players have been actively recruiting Deshaun Watson, per sources, and would love to play with three-time Pro Bowl passer. Terron Armstead, who is a free agent, is waiting to see if Watson goes to New Orleans
