Very possible.

I still wonder what happens if Joe Schoen gets a call from his old buddy Dan Morgan though.

I don't think the buddy factor plays near the role that you think. At the end of the day, you're still taking the deal that you think is best for your team. Buddies or not.,

Who's to slay we'd offer a bad deal, though?

And I've seen more than one trade be influenced by who was doing the trading.

Says a lot.  Sounding like them and the Giants are planning on swinging this deal.

New Orleans is up to something.  NYG are looking to gain some draft capital and could trade down with N.O.   Not sure they'll be drafting a QB but they could be after one of the top LTs available.

Going to be in interesting 3 weeks.

They seem to be thinking a qb will fall to them and then they snag a top wr.

??? I am missing something.  Why would the Eagles want to make this trade?

I have no idea. TBH, they appear to have lost a lot of value. The Saints haven’t been a top 10 drafting team so those future picks could end up being not nearly what they expected.

At a base level you ignore the 6th/7th and it’s 2 firsts for 2 firsts, 1 2nd and a late comp 3rd where 1 first is 2023 and the second is 2024. NO is obviously risking they collapse but they’ve still got a lot of talent especially on OL and D, but Philly doesn’t seem to be getting enough. I mean if NO hits on 16 and 19, Philly probably loses big time.

I don’t know why Philly would do that trade without knowing they got good value. Only reason I can think of is that they want more ammo for next year’s QBs.

Its a little confusing, but this how it is in simple terms-

saints- 16th overall pick

iggles- 1,2,3

Yes the 1, 2, and 3 are future picks, but I would do this deal form iggles side, its a compete 1 one-sided. Like we trade 1st *AND* you give me 2 AND 3???? I take that alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll day.

Think of this- that 1,2,3 saints gave for a unknown young player. That 1,2,3 could be traded for 99% of the league, that return is a star pro-bowl level package for a proven player.

Only way like works out for the saints, if they have a deeeep playoff run. They lost all-pro LT, all-pro S and a top 5 HC. The guy replaced HC has a worse W/L than Matt Rhule.

I think they could possibly be open to the Giants swap if a particular QB or LT slips....say they are over the moon for Neal, and Pickett...one of them slides to 5 they swap....if both are gone, they hold on and move on.

Who knows, but they certainly have a player or two they are in love with...IMO

Man, I really hope we go Tackle and not try to make up for past mistakes...although I would totally understand the rational.

I just think a bookend T to go with Moton would benefit this team for at least 4 more years.

Yeah I believe that trade to obtain another 1st round pick is to move up and like you said they clearly have their eyes on some player.  It will be interesting to see who.

Some of us have been dreaming about that sort of thing for years now.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
