2024 Trade Deadline - Who Goes?

BakoSaint · 11-05-2024, 11:21 AM

I dont think we will trade Lattimore because the cap savings will be minimal, the return will be minimal, and designating him a post-june-1 cut in march or extending him (which I hope we dont do) could offer more cap flexibility. He could be traded but we have not often seen Loomis make a move to take the heat and criticism to do the right thing and move on.

Chase Young is on a 1 year deal anyway so i hope we trade him. But if we dont, we may get comp picks when he moves on in the offseason anyway.

Juwon Johnsons contract voids also. We could trade him or get comp picks if he moves on.

Foster Moreau is very tradable. His contract has never been reatructured and actually offers the most cap relief to trade. I like him, but a trade could be a smart move.

If David, Jordan, or Mathieu would want to play for a contender we owe it to them but I doubt it happens. Not sure anyone would want Jordan. Mathieu and Davis are no longer great but could be useful pieces to a contender with a need.

I would not mind moving Bresee but I doubt they will because it wouod admit failure. He is a bust who turns every opposing RB into prime AP.

I do think another team would take a chance on Olave for a 4th or 5th if they believe their offense and QB could avoid hospital balls. But it would be admitting failure. I think its more likely we make the horrible mistake of paying him than the wise choice to move on. If his career can recover its not in this offense with this QB.

35 minutes left in the trade window this year.

That's it. Our lone trade was one that has essentially been in the works since last December. No mid-season sell-off as some may have hoped. We have exactly the same roster given Lattimore's inability to get onto the field that we had a week ago. Minus a head coach, of course.

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Its hard to sell off much at the trade deadline when we have already given most players their paychecks in advance through restructuring. Its not a bug deal not to trade Chase Young because we could get a comp pick anyway if he walks in free agency, and if we can get him a few sacks that pick could be better. Had we not extended Kamara we could have traded him, but whats done is done.

As for Lattimore’s trade being ‘in the works since december’ it was never real until it happened. Lots of things have been discussed and not happened. Kamara was not restructured until this extension after we restructured the rest of the entire roster, so a Kamara trade could have happened if not for the extension. Maybe we would have moved Adebo or Olave if not for the injuries.

I don't think you truly understand Kamara. The guy doesn't live his life off a paycheck. If he says he'd retire before playing outside of New Orleans most everyone that does understand believed he meant what he said. Everything isn't as cut and dry as you always seem to imply. Believe it or not some people have personal value that greatly outweigh monetary values. I know I have passed up on opportunity that didn't align with what I felt was best for my personal philosophies.

It might be a shorter list to post who should NOT be traded.

voodooido · 11-06-2024, 08:11 AM

I wish we could move olave. Get something while we can. Young would bring little to nothing I’m afraid. Maybe a 6th. Olave could draw a 2 and 3 if healthy.
