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.

    • Its worse because the NFL would never allow all the teams to join the NFC East or something.  There's a firm divisional structure with a salary cap to make it competitive.
    • Practice tweets/news from today (will post videos in the next cpl of posts if there are any worthwhile): K Ryan Fitzgerald now wearing #10. QB Hendon Hooker has #12. WR Dalevon Campbell has #81. RB DeeJay Dallas was in #1 but it's currently a practice-only number as he was playing the part of Jag's RB Travis Etienne on the scout team (his real number is #20). WR Jalen Coker walked out with a compression sleeve on his left leg. Later seen on the bike. LG Damien Lewis not wearing the red practice jersey anymore, should be full go for Thursday. LT Ikem Ekwonu was at practice but not dressed out as he recovers from an appendectomy. Worked out on the sideline with Jalen Coker + RB Jonathon Brooks. WRs Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, and Hunter Renfrow were all exempt from special teams practice. Likely three starters for Thursday. OT Yosh Nijman got the first looks at LT today. During the post-practice presser, Canales said that there was a lot of good energy today and that offense won the 1-on-1s which included a 40yd throw from Bryce Young to Xavier Legette early to "set the tone" (per Canales). Also stated that Icky is currently day-to-day. Commented on having a training plan for Coker this passed offseason and that he did a great job following it (though the quad issue is one he has had in the past). Renfrow's locker is between Dalton and Hooker (left) and Young (right). Sounds like they're trying to get Renfrow on the same page as the QBs in this offense to replace AT's role as that second set of "QB eyes" on the field. Icky talked about his symptoms that led to his surgery and mentioned that his dad, a physician, was who got him to go. Won't rush himself back, but hasn't ruled out playing Sunday. Renfrow said he had others, but he was either going to play for the Panthers or not at all. Said Bryce called him during the process and that when he was released the team mentioned that the Thielen trade might be coming. Got the news while picking up a trailer at his other job. Also said that Canales told him that he didn't think that he was physically ready yet but wanted him back on the practice squad. The Coker injury changed the calculus.
    • Most things that made it good are already dead, imo. The transfer portal combined with the money makes it all a complete joke. There’s no longer any sense of school pride, at least for me. If my team does well it is in large part because they paid better guys than the next team. When I went to college, I had some basketball players living in the same apartments and they’d show up to parties sometimes. You’d see guys around and they were just normal broke college kids like you. There was comraderie and pride that these guys saw the same school you loved and wanted to be there just like you. All of that is gone. It’s pro sports now, but worse. The players aren’t there long enough to feel like you know the team. No connection, just bragging rights over who has the largest and most affluent donor base.
