Saints put Kamara on the trading block?

[hsfolk]

Josina Anderson saying NO could be open to trading him. He wants Christian money, but Saints are only willing to give him top 5 RB money

We live in crazy times.

They are looking at cap hell. COVID is going to cause a cap retraction in 2021, most likely. They are not at all prepared for that.

[Tepper's Chest Hair]

Imagine paying Taysom Hill 21m for 2 years.  And having to lose Kamara.

That being said I expect from "clever" book keeping and Kamara to get ~14m

i mean the saints have traded away major offensive players before and not missed a beat. 

i can see a world they send kamara to like the bears, grab a pick, then bring in fournette for one year

everyone knows the saints are a crater after this season anyway

they aren't mutually exclusive. NO could probably find the money to pay Kamara if they want

All that cap fudging finally catching up to them

IF the cap were to stay flat at around 200 million in 2021, the Saints would only be about 50 million over. But the cap may drop as low as 175 million. It'll be fun watching them make that work.

Latavious Murray would step in and do much of what Kamara does. He was quite good in Minnesota.

Its almost if running backs in todays nfl are plug and play.   Interesting

Saints are going to be interesting the next year.

Theyre already 78 mil over the cap for 2021.

Sheldon Rankins is a FA for them 

Marshon Lattimore going into his 5th year option and will want to be paid.  There are 2-3 other Elite CBs (Ramsey, Marlon Humphrey, etc) hitting FA and expected to set the market.

Ryan Ramczyk going into his 5th year option this year, and will want North of what Jack Conklin just got at 16 a year.

This is the big thing.  It's not just Kamara, it's A LOT of key guys for them (and some not even mentioned above like Demario Davis IIRC). 

Not to mention, the Brees decision where even with retirement, he's leaving behind a ton of dead money. The Saints lived a few years longer due to a couple of amazing drafts.  Their window is this year because those drafts have now caught up to their cap.
