New Orleans is right there in the discussion...it needs to cost them a first.  Don’t see him winning them the NFC championship but it’s close.

If I am the Saints it is worth it.  Brees getting a send off Super Bowl is looking better and better for them.

That Ravens victory for them was extremely impressive.  Missed kick or not.

They are a top 3 team in the NFC. A trade like this absolutely could get them to the NFC Championship and beyond. Lattimore paired with Peterson would be a hard duo to get past.

If NO is able to grab him, its just proof the salary cap is an illusion.

It’s very easy to manipulate the cap. They’d need 4.5 mil in room to sign him because his 11 mil cap is about 6.5 now because of per game checks. You can convert salaries to bonuses and clear that up easy. Loomis does this all the time.

Hence the salary cap is an illusion, if you can so easily ignore it.

Only way this happens is if Cardinals ownership pushes it...

Wilks would lose all credibility with the team and probably spell his doom if the team trades Peterson, especially in light of Wilks denying it as strong as possible.

In fact, if the GM and/or ownership would allow this after Wilks has come out against this so strongly, would be pretty much an admission they will be cutting bait after 1 season with Wilks

People are always saying the Saints have no cap etc etc. it’s really not that hard to understand how they do it. Panthers could do the exact same thing, some GMs are more aggressive, some are conservative. Time and a place for both I feel. I do think NO going after Peterson is the right move. 11per for an elite corner is not outrageous. Saints have a two year window to win another ring with Drew. We will probably be irrelevant for a while once he hangs it up, so why not go for it?

 

Marcus Peters went for a 2018 4th and 2019 2nd. I could see Peterson possibly going for something pretty similar.

Saints have also squandered many years with a HOF QB in Brees by having to fill roster spots with UDFA's and/or 3rd rate players b/c of wasted money on big FA busts and bad draft picks.  Their draft last year was exceptional and brought them back into contention, but signing every FA out there has failed more than it's worked, and especially for the Saints

 

The point was they are trying to win. I didn't say anything about them having success.

It’s not about GM is about ownership, Jerry Richardson was the cheapest owner in the league that’s why he never wielded his influenced over the cap

This is actually a reasonable take. Looks like @saints4lifeagain has a friend

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
