No, he's been transitioned tag at 10mil+ and so that's off the table for now...

Only tradeable piece is Moore, maybe Sproles, Thomas if someone needs a transition back an no long term salary commitment as PT is in the last year of his contract...

+1. Nailed it.

Minnesota is supposedly looking for another tailback to back up Peterson. He'd make an excellent fit for them. Actually he'd make a good fit anywhere... his skill set is very broad.

I think we end up with PT still a saint. Although Sproles has been a match-up nightmare, I think teams have started to figure out how to minimize his affect in our scheme.

Slightly surprised no team was willing to give a sixth or seventh round pick for Lance Moore to prevent a bidding battle...

Hope he gets an even better deal and that team makes it rain for Lance...

Good Luck, Buddy...

Well Lance is gone, wonder who's next? Hope they keep PT and find some team to rip off for Sproles

Interesting we feel PT is the most underrated back in football and a great screen back but some of you feel he has no trade value.

Pierre Thomas ? now that would be a loss that scares me. as drew goes so do the saints. blitz pick up is so major in todays pass happy NFL. sproils goes then what we got stones for hands out of the backfield? thats if drew is upright. no back on the roster can do what PT does.

Oak, you answered your own question...

Also, a trading partner will see he's in the last year of his contract, 30+ in December - we might get a 7th at best, otherwise they'll wait till we release him because of the cap...

Cutting PT and/ or dealing sproles will signify the start of the ingram/ khiry backfield duo in my opinion
