Why are we talking about moving Stew? Somebody tell me why.

Just hypotheticals.  We all love Stew, but his history, good and bad, is what it is, and his cap hit is Hurney induced stupidity.  Good teams pay for what they will get and is to come, not for what's already been done.

Someone feel free to correct me, but my understanding is that a trade accelerates the cap hit. It's no different than releasing him, from a salary cap perspective. All of the remaining pro-rated portion of the signing bonus hits your cap that season. There is ZERO chance of us tradiging Stewart.

Suits me.  Not a huge fan.  

Even better, he's looking like a Saint.  Lazy turd goes to division opponent that has to rob Peter to pay Paul to fit him in.  Too good to be true.

Nick Fairley to Saints.

Courtney Upshaw to the Falcons.

These teams really upgraded their D today. Planning to play Cam twice a year.

29 tackles w/ 0.5 sack vs. 19 tackles w/ 3 sacks

51 tackles w/ 2 sacks and 2 forced fumbles vs. 55 tackles w/ 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, and 1 INT

The first comparison is Fairley vs. Kyle Love. The second is Courtney Upshaw vs. A.J. Klein

They are signing these guys to start, while our back-ups have similar production. Now consider Fairley's history of giving half-ass effort, even with Suh and then Aaron Donald drawing most of the attention. Upshaw's main job was a run-stuffing 3-4 OLB. Looks like a good fit in Atlanta's scheme using 3-4 LBs with 4-3 D-linemen. As good a plan as the Saints 5 Safety defense from a couple years ago.

They are signing names, not production, especially Atlanta. They need pass rushers the most, and the guys they've signed aren't.

Upshaw is baically another  1st round draft bust by the almighty Ozzie Newsome. And as much as id have liked Fairley here as a  backup to KK and Star, that's all he'll ever likely be. Nothing to get in a tizzy about. Now Mack was an upgrade at C for ATL, but even he had a down year last year. Mathis looks like an upgrade over Bierman but who isn't. Sanu for Roddy White is a wash, he had some highlight plays that hit ESPN but he drops too many passes in reality. The Saints are just screwed, they signed like pffs worst graded MLB against the run. I wont even touch Fleener.

Soliai is a bigger upgrade for us, at least on paper.

Don't know if this was already posted, but in case you didn't know,

Saints sign LB Craig Robertson, matched offer to TE Josh Hill

Saints will have to give Brees new contract now...  They are over cap room and very little wiggle room.

      All I can say is... I have some happiness off the rags choking and losing to the Panthers. Hopefully the Western conference team wins the Stanley cup, but now I can be 100% uninvested in the playoffs

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
