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.

    • And timing is everything.  You don't build the roof of a house before you build the foundation.  Teams that draft #1 overall tend to go for QBs and put them in impossible situations.  Our coach sucked.  Our OL sucked (even when Cam was here, but he could overshadow that deficiency), etc.  They seem to have the idea down (Morgan?) but when Bryce gets paid, you can't have $100m going to the OL and $50m to the QB and still have WRs and a Defense.   We have to develop our talent and be prepared to let them walk and retool.  I am still a bit upset by the Horn CB deal.  Look at the salary we have locked up at OG and CB....Yikes. If it were not for MJackson and Coker, we would have been in deep poopie.   I am still fairly optimistic, and I have accepted the fact that Bryce will be our CB for at least another season.  He is improving, but I do not like the fact that he needs so much investment in the OL and WRs to be average--before his mega deal.  I am hoping we draft an QB with potential to develop on day 3 and see what we can do with him.  Long shot, but some of the top names in 2024 are going to be taken late this draft.  Like Purdy (I wanted him around round 5 or 6), or Ewers from last season.  I like several QBs who may not even be drafted, like the kid from Vanderbilt.  I also like Mateer from Oklahoma.  Raw, but a year on the bench could help.
    • We've still fuged up in the past going "BPA". We drafted Butler at DT and Shaq at LB when DT and LB were some of our biggest strengths of the roster. Butler was a flat out bust and Shaq was basically a JAG starter at LB. I know that triggers some folks, but sorry that's just the truth. We overdrafted him then doubled down on that and overpaid him.  
    • We had two shots at #1. Hell, we had them on the roster at the same time. Darnold and Mayfield both.
