Saints attempting to trade WR Kenny Stills

I'd love to get him.  BUT what's the cost?  2nd-3rd?  No way.  A fourth rounder?  Now that makes it interesting.  I wonder why they are shopping him?  Are they going to completely try to rebuild because Brees feels like he can play another 5 years?

I get it's not cap related, but why the hell would you get rid of such a promising talent??

Not sure. Rumors here were that coaches and management were very upset about the attitude in the locker room last year. Immature was thrown around a lot. It's very apparent they aren't happy and they're doing something about it.

I don't like getting rid of young talent on a cheap contract though. Loomis said everyone was under evaluation. He wasn't lying.

Stills was like a 5th round pick whose numbers have been inflated by Brees. We're also in a league where Brandon Marshall went for a 5th and the Texans couldn't find a taker for Andre Johnson.

He's younger on a miniscule contract, so it's not cap related, but still. No higher than a 6th, but they'll never trade him here anyway.

 

Marshall and Johnson also have big contracts and are much older. Not saying a second is reasonable, but I don't know that a 4th/5th or even a 3rd is all that unlikely.

    • As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.
    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
