In other news ...

The Chiefs make a trade for Toney.

https://sports.yahoo.com/report-gian...9E86vQsb3pYgH0

Juju, Hardman, Scantling, Moore, Toney & an All Pro TE.

Andy Reid knows he'll need more weapons when he faces the Bills again ... probably in the AFC title game & a trip to the Super Bowl.

I would go after Bradley Chubb.

Former NC State star. Reunite him with Ryan Nielsen.

There's been a great deal of talk this week here in Denver about the team trading him. Maybe Payton Turner and a 3rd?

No idea what it would take but I'd rather Chubb than Davenport right now.

Let's not forget that he was the one that egged Thomas on until he snapped in practice. Yes, he's got an edge we liked, but sometimes those edges slice both ways.
Hmmm.

I recall being told repeatedly to believe the reports that all players and coaches had squashed that beef. Moved on even. Interesting.

Now where did I say they hadn't "squashed that beef" and hadn't "moved on"? It was no longer an issue from what I had heard and read from all involved.

But I was using that old example of Gardner-Johnson being an irritant. If he had done it before, whether totally resolved or not, it shows that he can be a distraction. Not saying that's what happened, but stressing that we don't know all that was involved in the decision to move him.

Speaking of "pass rush" or lack there of ...

Payton Turner. Correct me if I'm wrong but he's been a healthy scratch a couple of times this season.

Our D line needs guys to step up. Cam Jordan can't continue to do it off the edges by himself every week.

You are correct. No idea what the issue is but if we're talking trade, who would you rather trade - Davenport OR Turner?

Here's the Saints Injury Reports. Turner hasn't been a healthy scratch once according to the reports.

Turner was active and played weeks 1, 3, and 4. He was inactive weeks 2, 5, 6, and 7, all with a chest injury. Last week was the first time he's even been able to practice at all since week 4 and was limited. Yesterday was the first time he's been a full go in practice since week 4.

It looks like we'll have Turner back this week. Hopefully it pays dividends with the rush.

I guarantee you the whole thing never enters their mind any longer. Both have said that and there is no reason not to believe them.

It's like the deal between Brees and Malcolm Jenkins. That was a hundred times more intense and Jenkins stated since that they love each other like brothers and that's all in the past. If they can do it surely Gardner-Johnson and Thomas can over a stupid little camp scuffle.

Oh, and Thomas was not sent home for a week for what happened with Gardner-Johnson. According to Payton he was sent home because got into it with a coach AFTER the incident You need to get your story right, my friend.

Davenport. Honestly I don't see him on this team after this season. The guy is super disruptive but it's not turning into sacks so far. Underhill mentioned him on his podcast a week or so ago & doesn't think he'll receive an extension.

As for Turner, I don't see any takers for him.

I have a friend from Philly that's in my snowboarding group text. He just said he's seeing rumors of AK41 being traded to Philly. Anyone else heard or seen this? I'll see if I can get a link from him.

That's my thought.
Davenport - you know what you've got.
Turner - you believe you can get more.

Still, getting Chubb could be an upgrade. Guess we'll see how Sunday plays out first.

Can't the Eagles just leave us alone ?!

But hell, I can't even blame Philly's GM (Howie)for making the call.

That team wants another ring.

Financial speaking, the cap hit would be ridiculous.

IMO Mark is running on fumes. Not a lot of productivity anymore & he's fumbling. Akers could lighten up the load & get a lot more touches than what he's getting out in LA.

Not to mention AK still has legal issues.

And I agree with the others, we could really use more DLine/pass rush help. We'll see.

He tore his Achilles in preseason last year. He came back in record time before the end of the season last year, and looked horrible then and in his limited play this season. I doubt the Rams find a trading partner, and wouldn't be surprised if he ever plays a meaningful down in the NFL again. I guess we'll have to see how it plays out.

Yup. He's started seven games over his two and a half year career. He's averaged under three yards per carry over the past two seasons. He had a promising start in the second half of 2020 and the playoffs, but hasn't done anything of note since then. It not looking real promising.

Wow. But is it Cam or McVay? Rushed back to play perhaps?

If I had a choice, I'd take a flyer on a player a decade younger than Ingram. For a 6th or 7th round pick ? ... I would.

At the end of the day, I'm just a couch coach so what the hell do I know :rolleyes:.

I have a feeling if that's all they wanted, he would have been traded by now. But I'm in the same boat as you as far as being a couch coach.

I have a feeling they'd jump all over a 7th but haven't gotten the interest. They may end up releasing him after the deadline if nobody bites.

I would pick up Tevin Coleman,now, I would also like to see Akers in a Saints uniform. I'm still saying trade Kamara for picks, he's gonna be out for at least 6 games next season anyway. Use those picks on a qb and a real TE

Re: Let's Talk Trade Deadline
 
If you think you’re getting a #1 pick for AK you’re dreaming. Trading AK don’t make sense. You’re not getting a qb for AK, then you’re putting us behind the 8 ball cuz then we will need a qb and rb. With the chance of him being suspended only decrease his value in a trade. No more robberies, Chauncey Gardner is enough. Time for Loomis to try to commit some robberies and stop trading draft picks. Go get a real coach to help build this team back to prominence

I do think we get a 1st for him.

From what I seen the Eagles only offered a 3rd for McCaffrey…and I think CMC is better.

Absolutely! RBs don't get traded for a 1st. CMC went for a 2nd and 3rd. Last time a RB went for a 1st was Trent Richardson like in his 2nd or 3rd year. We see how that turned out.

CMC went for 4 picks a 2nd, 3rd and 4th for 2023 and a 5th for 2024. That would easily be a 1st and a 6th.

Re: Let's Talk Trade Deadline
 
I truly believe that eagles GM is toying with Loomis. Why not offer a trade for Swift instead, younger and just as talented. Why toy with Loomis you might ask, make that 1st rd pick we traded away more valuable cuz the likely of us winning w/o Kamara is almost zero. If he able to swindle a deal, he most likely offering a conditional 3rd with incentives that are most likely to stay a 3rd. Remember, they have a healthy Sanders. That eagles GM is a masterful robber. Without a mindful coach that know how steer this ship around, loomis will be more incline to eat the cheese and sink our team. A coach will discuss the variables (pros & cons). Dennis Allen on the other hand will be a yes man and let you shoot yourself in the foot.

Unless you able to get our 1st rd pick back this is a NO TRADE. No 2nd rd pick or eagles 1st rd pick swap with our 2nd rd pick trading Kamara. DON’T EAT THE CHEESE.

Re: Let's Talk Trade Deadline
 
There's lots of players who have underperformed, aren't worth their salaries, and have often been injured. I fear Thomas will never show up or be worthy of his money again. Questionable at best attitude and now two bad ankles. Peat is talented and versatile but he hasn't nor will he ever be able to get healthy. Davenport will always be a tease at best. All the measurables. Injuries and no production. Onyemata makes no impact. Turner was just a bad pick. Badger is a cover guy on the downside. Landry just doesn't have it anymore. All this is known and it take some desperately over paying to get any value in return for any of these guys. The most glaring needs are at DT and Safety. The safety play has been atrocious. The CGJ not being a Saint this year was a failure of management. I see the Saints going with what they have and cutting bait with some of the bad salaries and playing a Rookie QB next year. Their being cheap for 3 years with offset the cap hits of moving on from Thomas and Peat. Allen might get another year but I doubt it.

Re: Let's Talk Trade Deadline
 
It’s been mentioned, but quite a few players are untradeable for all practical purposes. That’s due to future dead money. Latt, Kamara, Ram, Thomas CAN’T NOT be on the team for a few years. It cripples the team in dead money plus no team is gonna trade for their contracts. At least not and offer fair trade value.

Re: Let's Talk Trade Deadline
 
I'm not in favor of gutting the roster. It's time to let Michael Thomas go. We've been stuck in neutral with him. It's time to move on from him. Anyone who looks like they are not engaged should go too.
Sean didn't do us any favors by 1. Leaving and 2. Not drafting Drew's replacement.

I think getting rid of MT results in $38 million in dead cap.
