2024 Trade Deadline - Who Goes?

rezburna · 11-04-2024, 08:39 PM

I’d ride the season out, fire Mickey Loomis, and let a new GM decide what he wants to do with the piece we have. If we have a top 5 pick then I’d like to draft Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders, but if we trade back and pick up more capital I understand. If we could trade back a spot or two and get Will Campbell to pair with Fuaga that would be a great start. Try to grab Tate Ratledge to plug at LG and grab a RB like Judkins from Ohio State. Sign Mac Jones to a cheap two year deal and see what you can get at QB in 2026. Sucks to have to speculate in November for next year.

If I were remotely confident in the possibility of a new GM then yes, I'd be okay with that.

However we need to assume he's here next season.

Young - better to get something for him before he hits free agency. I don't think he'll command top dollar but teams may easily outbid us.

Lattimore - another season, another injury... Great player but not worth the contract as he approaches 30. Personally, I'd love to see him get a ring somewhere.

Kamara - This is the one player I strongly believe should remain in New Orleans. He has so much left to give despite age.

Not bad, but we need more beef on both sides. I'd honestly pass on picking a QB early. And yes, RB is an increasingly stronger need. What happened, we used to strike gold even in UDFAs routinely.

Sean Payton must have been the one with the eye for running backs.
