Re: Let's Talk Trade Deadline
Saints Players Most Likely to be Traded
The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday, November 1 at 4pm. Mid-season trades in the NFL aren't nearly as common as in the other professional sports leagues, but have happened with more frequency in recent years. The Carolina Panthers have recently dealt RB Christian McCaffrey and WR Robbie Anderson and are reportedly listening to other offers.
Carolina is in the midst of a complete rebuild, while the New Orleans Saints are not. So we shouldn't expect the Saints to deal away any of their top-tier players who are under contract for multiple seasons. New Orleans, behind General Manager Mickey Loomis and backed by ownership, are typically one of the more aggressive teams in the league.
At 2-5, we also shouldn't expect the Saints to be looking to acquire players for a playoff run. Despite a disappointing start, the team still has as much talent as anyone. However, they also lack draft capital over the next two years. There are already unfounded rumors of a possible trade involving RB Alvin Kamara or DE Cameron Jordan.

The Saints have a an opportunity to win the impotent NFL South so I think that they should be looking for help rather than getting rid of key players for future draft picks that may or may not be good players in the NFL.
