What's it matter if Byrd is out a few weeks? We're not really throwing him the ball, or to Moore or Samuel all that much. Might as well wait for him to come back and hope he makes plays when he gets the chance.  I see some here wanting to unload Byrd but it doesn't hurt us to keep him when we aren't even throwing the ball that well right now.

I'm not sure there's any indication the Saints want to trade him, but even if there were, would they really trade him to a division rival they're going to see twice before the season's over?

And again, if they do, that sounds like one of those trades where they ask for four fingers, both nuts and an eye in return.

Yep... and it ain't like Ginn left on good terms.

But the Saints would never trade him to us, and especially since we are still going to play them twice before the end of the year.

If Byrd is going to be out long-term, this might be worth a trade. Could pick up punt/kick return duties and also replace Byrd and Torrey Smith. He's not a great receiver but he's faster than Torrey and Cam trusts him.

Offer them CAP for Ginn, straight-up.

Edit: And then cut Torrey.

Why would we trade anything of value for someone that doesn't want to play for us?

That bridge was already wobbly when he signed with the Saints, but it was basically lit on fire in the playoffs last season. He made how he felt about the Panthers pretty clear.

I don't know why these things surprise people. It's a business. You wouldn't want to stick it to your former employer if they didn't want to pay you what you felt you were worth and a competitor offered you more? Of course you would.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
