Rugby Saint II

What do the Saints do next? Maybe bring back Peat? Are we set on the O line? Who would you like to bring in?

I think we could bring back Peat but I don't think its the most likely move.

I think something could happen with Lattimore. More likely than not there was some real strategic reason to put the unusual clause in his contract for a bonus to trigger later in the offseason. He could be traded, cut, restructured, extended (I hope not at his age), retire unexpectedly, have an injury that has not been disclosed, or who knows what. All the talk how we dont have too many corners and we dont really want to trade him could be a smokescreen to not look desperate. His trade value is low because his contract pays him more than he is worth, even if he is worth a fair bit of money. But we could be looking to move on regardless.

Some news could come regarding Ram. He will likely be a post-june-1 designated cut in march 2025 but we could formally announce whether he is going to play in 2024 or not.

Trading a player like Kamara, Hill, or one of our several similarly ok tight ends is still a possibility I think. We are acting more like we might be at least partly rebuilding, and such moves could make sense for that.

I could also see us trading Payton Turner or Trevor Penning in bust swap but that would not be a really big move. Sometimes teams get frustrated with their apparent busts and decide its time for a fresh start, but other teams agree and will give some late pick or similar bust.

A blockbuster trade of someone like Adebo or Olave for an oline would not be out of the question, though it is unlikely. It would hurt to lose them, but not as badly as it would hurt to have to start Penning I think.

Signing Peat would make sense if his demands are reasonable, but I wonder if there is a divide between the coaching staff and some of the veterans who went along with Winston on the face victory formation. On that note, I could also see us trading Jamaal Williams for a player with a similar situation of guaranteed salary they are not longer worth, but hard to cut because the salary is guaranteed and they are worth something.

Trevor will be moved to left guard and BET Big Easy Tank will play left tackle! Rattler will replace Carr after this season, if Carr doesn’t win a game in the playoffs! We will keep Lattimore this season and attempt to trade next off season! We’ll have a very good secondary, DL and the LB Corps will be average and only because of age! That new TE will be our starter and be a top 5 TE! WR is strong with the addition of Wilson and Means in the draft! Jamaal will be a lot better this year and Special K with do his thang! I will predict a 12-5 season, if not Allen and his coaching staff are gone!

Golf and sex are about the only things you can enjoy without being good at them.

Mekhi Becton signing with the eagles
1 year 5.5ml. He would have been worth a look at that price or even a little more.

Still think they sign Peat back

Honestly wouldn't hate having Peat back.

Devil you know...

Rugby Saint II

Maybe we could use another possession receiver to add competition to the WR room. If not, I think that the "HOLKster" will see the field a lot as a rookie. He is awfully smooth for a late round TE and his play style looks like a good fit with the Kubiak system.

Cruize

Penning will shine at LT. Fuaga will take over for Ram who won't retire this year but will be put on PUP and never play again. Ezirim will take over at LG ala Evans. Kool-Aid will struggle early not being the star/starter. Ford is going to be a tackling/playmaking machine machine. Boyd and Means will head to the PS at best. Holker will make the squad. Kibodi will make the squad due to injuries and the new scheme after being the camp beast. Rattler will ascend to the #2 QB. Because of the numbers, Haener will be cut and the Saints will roll with Carr, Rattler and Hill at QB.

First: Sign a free agent LT, Peat if necessary.
Then sign veteran free agents at DT, LB P and K

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All little common sense goes a long way.

Well apparently today we shores up our offensive line by signing a couple glass journeymen with limited experience. Don't be surprised if this does not solve the problem.
