Saints attempting to trade WR Kenny Stills

[O-Ther]

That's an extremely rare occurrence.

 

Last one I remember is the Patriots trading Bledsoe after their first SB win to Buffalo.

.......so are fire sales!!!

Maybe, but I gotta admit I'm a lot less enthusiastic about trading picks now that we have a guy in charge who knows how to use them.

4th round pick for a 22 year old with 4.3 speed and 1600 yards in 2 seasons? That's undoubted value.

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.

I fail to understand ur logic? A 6th??? Those picks rarely pan out and if so it takes a few years to develop.

So u wouldn't give that up for a player who is very young and has proven he can compete?

I really wouldn't mind giving up a 3rd. It won't happen but still...

Agreed. It all depends on what they would be willing to take. If Getts agrees to it, I say pull the trigger! He is a great team builder. I can actually say I trust his judgement.

Rumblings are that the franchise tag caused a big rift between Graham and Loomis last year, and Teh Jimmay's attitude was rubbing off on Stills. Big reason for the firesale is player's attitudes along with the cap woes.

If he were to be traded within the division, I am fairly certain it would cost a lot more than outside... making it a bad move.

[MHS831]

If I were the GM, I think a fire sale is what I would do---however, didn't they just re--sign Colson?  Makes no sense.

It's market value, pro bowlers are being traded for 5th rounders or being cut altogether and this guy isn't on that level. Stills has speed we could use, but he was a late pick himself, no reason we couldn't find a similar talent late as well. Plus I think Brees makes him, I don't think he's all that special but that's just my opinion.

Plus do you really wanna give the Saints another decent pick? This is all moot anyway since there's no way they'd trade him here.

@nfldraftscout: I'd want @KSTiLLS on my team today. Young, super productive, cheap for two more years. This is a no-brainer. Go get him.

We can forget about obtaining Saints WR Kenny Stills. The Saints would not trade him to us first off and Panthers GM Dave Getleman is not going to trade away draft choices for him.

Normally I agree with you on this.  But, Stills has shown he can deliver in an NFL game and has a lot of upside.  If he coudl be had for a mid round pick, I would pull the trigger.  Basically the same as drafting a guy in the mid rounds....except that Stills is less of a ? because you KNOW what he can do.

 

And....he is stil on a cheap rookie contract.

is there a Stills equivalent around the 3rd?
