Trade Bait

Turbodog · 08-17-2003, 09:12 PM

Midway thrugh the preseason Saints coaches and fans are starting to realize (actually we have been knowing) the teams weaknesses. Number one on the list is backup running back. Much talk has been made of targeting certain teams #2 running backs. Some of the names I've seen mentioned are......Ladell Betts, Lamar Smith, (Been there done that), and sammy morris of Buffalo.....
The question is Which saints player can we most afford to get rid of. The following are players who I've heard may be trade bait....(Martin Chase, Kenny Smith, and (I hear Grady Jackson is also in the mix,,,,but I hope not) If it is betts that the saints target I'm sure one of these Dt's will be gone. The question is, Are any of these backup running backs worth getting rid of for one of our valuable DT's. I realize that none of these DT's listed beside Jackson are household names but they do provide quality depth...........Just wondering.

on the subject of trade bait:

wouldn't you think one of our backup TE's would be worth getting rid of for a backup running back or future pick. Sloan,Boo, or even Zach HIlton(afterall the colts gave us a 7th round draft pick last year for unproven Ricky Williams
