Report: Saints trading for Texans cornerback Roby
Per NFL source ... Ian Rapoport
If accurate, this is a good move at a position of need. Bradley is suspended week 1, but becomes avaiable after that. It will be interesting to see what the Saints gave up to acquire him. PFT source. |
Re: Report: Saints trading for Texans cornerback Roby
Anyone want to take a guess at where Roby played his college ball ? ...
"Thee Ohio State" & former 1st rounder ... lol |
Re: Report: Saints trading for Texans cornerback Roby
Pretty good move. He’s solid.

Roby is a upgrade over Crawley & Trufant .. and I keep repeating myself on Adebo but you don't want him to lose confidence early. Adding another quality vet @ CB was needed and necessary. He makes plays.
Saints front office has been stressing the "need" for a CB all off season so I'm not at all surprised by this move. Good luck to Roby. |

I guess Kris Richard has seen enough to know how he feels about the CB group opposite Marshon Lattimore. |

Awesome. I've been worried about corner. Apparrently the Saints front office was too.

Re: Report: Saints trading for Texans cornerback Roby
Well, well, well… it was starting to look like they just weren’t going to get a trade done after trying so hard all summer.

Lattimore, Adebo, Trufant, CJGJ, Crawley (don't laugh, he's looked good lately), and Roby? Seems like we have a lot of CB depth now!

I’m certain Roby is elated to be gone from Houston.
The Texans are a complete mess of a franchise. |
Re: Report: Saints trading for Texans cornerback Roby
Who got cut to make room for him? Desmond Trufant took Murray's spot.

Re: Report: Saints trading for Texans cornerback Roby
Hope we didn't give up too much; Kevin White was a first round pick - No. 7th pick, in fact...
Roby was an on again, off again starter in DEN, replaced by Tlaib... In Houston, he was shifted over to the NB, important, but no longer a boundary CB; then again, Houston... Guess we'll see how the Saints Coaching Staff deploys him and if he's effective; Nick made a great point that the pick will be high because they're eating salary... Note: For those of you who think the salary cap is hard fast re: trades, bookmark this trade away - you can schlep the numbers... Depth is impressive now, but with Crawley out and Trufant released by Bears for availability concerns, got a feeling we won't find out much now... Post Week 1 Game, then Payton is required to disclose and we'll see... |

Any veteran with mid to above average skills and healthy, can adjust to scheme and coaching much quicker. This gives our rookie CB time the learn the speed and tempo and develop his film study habits. Good / neccessary move on the front office’s part.

Re: Report: Saints trading for Texans cornerback Roby
If the Saints did in fact give up more than one pick for Roby, that wouldn’t bother me. He’s a GOOD CB that we were lacking at a position of need with the exit of Janoris.
After the Saints were unsuccessful in going up in the draft to select Jaycee Horn, it showed they were serious about the CB position opposite Latt. The likes of Crawley & PJ aren’t gonna get it done @ the 2 spot. |

Re: Report: Saints trading for Texans cornerback Roby
I always liked Roby and I'm gad that we made the trade to get him. If it was a fourth round and maybe a seventh round pick then I'm stoked that we got him. Payton uses his later round picks for ammunition to move up for the player or players he covets. Payton uses the day three picks like they were poker chips.

Giving up a 3rd in exchange for a starting caliber cb is just stealing. No guarantees what you'll get in the third round on draft days. Having Latt and Roby on those boundaries is a win win for 2021. |

Roby was not a regular in starter in DEN as Aqib Talib was ahead of him on the depth chart... When he signed with HOU, he was moved to the NCB within a year?!? So I guess we'll find out if he's a true Outside CB or however the Saints use him... Suspect Payton spent draft capitol so he could make sure he had CB depth for Week 1 and get that all-important home-field, NFC tie breaker over the Packers... |

Saints have been all-in since 2018 and on after that 2017 draft haul... We just gotta find out once the bullets are live if Jameis has truly changed or neaux... |

Re: Report: Saints trading for Texans cornerback Roby
Not sure i like it to be honest.
Its cheap this year, another fairly big salary for next while trying to fill the roster that loses Winston,Armstead,Williams and Lattimore looking like they'll be over the cap already. |
