Ted Ginn up for trade?

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.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
