Trade time. Not much talent or experience on the team without him.

Any idea who someone would be willing to give up at this point? That would be the issue.

Philly/Zach Ertz perhaps?

At least make the call …

If you can talk Philly into eating almost $8 million in dead cap over this year and next.

Bet.

Saints can consume that, not to mention cutting/trading a player.

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.

Isn't there somebody way cheaper?

Sure, but you get what you pay for.

Here's the top guys at that position. Josh Hill is ahead of Ertz, supposedly. and we could've resigned him, but didn't. Why would we spend more $ now than what we could've spent with Hill?

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.
