2024 Trade Deadline - Who Goes?

Kamara has already said he'll retire and "move to Africa" before playing anywhere other than New Orleans. I believe him. Going nowhere.

Olave has no market given his recent injury history.

Demario? See Kamara above.

There may not be any. We'll need them for our run to 10-7 and the NFC South title in historic fashion on the way to winning the Lombardi in the Home Dome!

Unless some sort of "you can't trade me" clause is in his contract, I don't think it is up to the thug to determine his fate as a Saint. If a good enough offer is made, the thug is gone. AND if the Saints organization agreed to such a clause, then there in fact proves management stupidity.

No trade clauses are quite common in player contracts. That said, Kamara doesn't have one and doesn't need one. What he does have is the ability to retire instead of going to that other team. And that is exactly what he has stated several times when asked about possibly playing elsewhere other than New Orleans. He has repeatedly said whenever his time ends with the Saints he's going to Africa and retire. His mother is from Liberia and that's where he plans to go live. Kamara has been extremely involved in real estate investments and is pretty much set for life as opposed to many other players.
