Latavius Murray perhaps?

We can't. You cannot transfer dead money. Philly HAS to absorb it. There is no way they can get out of it.

Just like we would have to eat $1.8 million in dead cap by trading Murray.

We let Dan Arnold walk. He was coming around for us.

Someone will be let go we can use. We just need to have patience.

No timeframe on when we'll get Adam back. Hill retired and apparently lost his fire & I don't blame the Saints for allowing Dan to walk.

Juwan is fresh and learning a new position + he's too light for blocking. I had high hopes for Nick V but he's nicked up too.

Saints need a proven guy ... not necessarily Zach but someone with similar skill set.

This article suggests four guys we could trade for.

Hill would not have retired if he were still a Saint, I reckon. But I don't blame him either not wanting to learn a new system, especially one in Detroit.

Ertz may get cut if his snaps are as low as they say it is. We don't need to pick up his hefty cap crunching $8.5 Million salary, even IF we have $11.5 open.

The CB from Denver makes more sense.

Maybe we call Pederson back for now?

There's always Tim Tebow.

Too bad Jared Cook didn't work out in New Orleans.

Maybe... salary cap space we needed. But he had the dropsies in way too many crucial situations.

He did. Bad body language at times & carrying the ball like a loaf of bread in the playoffs.

Bye.

I don't think he was going anywhere but back to Seattle.

FBs are basically TEs too. This is who we have on our roster.

40 - Alex Armah (FA 2021) 6'2" 255 lbs, 45 - Garrett Griffin (RFC 2021) 6'4" 240 lbs, 47 - Sutton Smith (FA2021) 6'0" 237 lbs

These guys are about the same size as Ertz.

Yeah... we'd want a taller dude, but it's not like we haven't tried. Let's wait until next week when final cuts occur.
