Re: Mortgage the farm?
The problem is, other than our marquee players, no one is going to trade players and/or picks for an immediate impact player.
Also, what player/s are out there that a team would be willing to trade that is WORTH it for both teams? I personally think the Saints should look at Shawn Merriman, IF he can be signed cheaply! |

But for some reason there is a disconnect between our offensive scouting/talent evaluations and our defensive scouts/evals. I'm not sure why, but it is unquestionably there. If you were to give Spags a couple of top-tier guys to work with that were his choices, well, I'm just curious to see I guess

And I'm just gonna pretend I didn't hear that comment about Merriman. He's nothing without his trusty PEDs, and he's just plain out of his prime. Price tag would have to be him paying US to play lol |
