Just saw on NFL Network, that the Saints could be studying a trade with the Cowboys for LT Jammal Brown. Jason Laconfora says that it could happen on draft day, as the Cowboys are looking to trade their second round pick, for the right guy. What do you guys think? This will still be a high second round pick. I think they should have to throw in a player as well, unless they want to give up a 1st, or possibly the 2nd, and a 5th or 6th.

Do it...it would be nice to get a first...but a 2nd and 3rd would work...Dallas has been known to give away number ones ...lol

This is a cost-cutting move if it happens. Maybe this is why Brown decided not to attend workouts, because he may have been informed that he was on the block. The Saints are probably seeing that they won a Super Bowl without him and are content with either Bushrod or Strief at LT. With a 6+ mil tender placed on him, they are seeing less dollar signs devoted to that position and can spread that money out over people that are probably about to get extensions like Jahri Evans and Pierre Thomas. They could also use some of that money to go toward re-signing Sharper.

P.S. I would still try to get more than just the 27th pick in the 2nd round, though. Maybe a 2nd and a 4th.

It would free up some moolah...and im might be in the minority here.. but i think Bushrod and Strief and a draft pick would do ok at LT...Brown is one knee injury away from missing the season again...

Guys, Brown is coming off a season-long injury in which his team played better when he wasn't there. Doesn't exactly scream first-round draft pick to me.

I'm with D, think maybe a low 2nd with a low-rounder could be a possibility. I'd take that in a heartbeat.

The national media ragged on Bushrod a lot last year because he had a couple of bad games, but point is, the Saints gave up very few sacks and Bushrod actually did pretty well. He's not an elite tackle, but definitely a good one.

I dont see anymore than a second rd pick as well..but Loomy can work some magic..lol..

Out of curiosity, if it's the cowboys 2nd rounder, and a player, what player would you guys consider?

Also, a lot of people either forget or don't take into consideration that last year was Bushrod's first time to start. He seems like a bright enough cookie to learn from his mistakes and play at a higher level next season.

If you really want to know D.Ware...lol..
