Sedrick Ellis to be traded?

Ellis is a good player. He's not a great player. But, he's still young, he's good enough, and his salary isn't too high for his production so far. There's no way they trade him unless there's something very broken behind the scenes.

Which is exactly my point...

The question is does he have the motor to warrant the move the Saints made to get him or does he drift along at the level of play he's given to now...

The Rogers and Franklin signings are upgrades, but not that much as Ayodele and Hargrove were solid contributors...

He ain't going anywhere.

We all hope not.
If he is moved, he would be another one of those perfect examples of former Saints players that hit their stride as soon as they are gone. He is, right now, perfectly positioned to break out and I think we ought to let him do it right here.

It shouldn't - not for what they get paid!!

I am NOT saying we should trade him.

BUT there is no reason that ANY of these guys should show up out of shape.
