I get it that every bit helps, but the Saints have to address the folks at the top of the list, the 8 digit guys first; Cameron Jordan, Terron Armstead, Kwon, Jackrabbit, Taysom Hill!! That Peat contract is a bad one for the team, not just the money but the way it is counted, great goobly moobly is it bad. For better or worse, we’re connected to him this 2021 season. My preference would be to keep both Murray and Burton, they are both excellent pass catching backs, and teams just don’t find those guys lying around, imho.

Kwon Alexander and Janoris Jenkins are the only direct moves that can be made to relieve the cap with minimal dead money; the negative is the loss of talent...

It is far more costly to move Taysom Hill without a sign and trade deal; same with Cam...

Moving Armstead makes sense, since Ramczyk could play LT and has to be extended; plus they're some great RTs that could be had in the first and second round...
