Reggie wouldn't even net us a 7th in a trade, much less Lynch and a pick. Who would trade for that $12million contract? Carrol would laugh at us. Colston and Meachem are locks for the 2011 team, IMO. |

Devery Henderson? Robert Meachem? I'd take Bush before either of these guys. Though the salary slot is higher than it should be.

Look, it's the last year of both their contracts; I'd keep Colston and let Meachem geaux and get compensatory draft picks... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

I think we'd have more success if we moved Henderson to RB than moving Bush to WR, but both are bad ideas. |

I'll look in on the playoff games, but I'm already waiting for McShay & Kiper to offer their "insight" on the next "guy"...
Saints didn't get much for Jammal Brown, but at least it's a high third (3) round pick... |
