Trade Burns. Pay Luvu.

Burns should have been traded last season, yet another Scott Fitterer failures. Meanwhile one of Fitterer’s major successes Frankie Luvu has outperformed his contract and has grown into a menacing player. It’s obvious which one to keep and which one to try to get assets in return.

If it’s a wash year spent developing Young it’s not a bad idea to trade Burns if you can get good value for him. Luvu should be much cheaper to keep them you can pay a WR like Higgins the contract he wants and also extend Brown (who I think is the most important person on defense). It’s not a terrible idea and someone will overpay for Burns.

While they are all in their prime

Now that's the ticket to winning. 

Burns is the only one on that list that truly made sense to trade. The Rams made a stupid offer last season to get him.

How many sacks/TFLs does Luvu get if the OL isn't preoccupied with accounting for Burns?

Burns was 1 v 1 most of the game. I'm not sayiing he didn't have an impact becuase he did, if only under the surface since it wasn't on the stat sheet, but the Saints were not generally dedicating extra blockers to him.

    • The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?
    • I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this! 
    • in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
