Hell and yes.

Re: Rumor - Saints shopping Thomas, Moore, Sproles
 

I definitely oppose letting Sproles go. Of the three, I'm most willing to part with Lance Moore. Trading PT doesn't make a lot of sense to me given how freaking productive he was last year. It's always sad to lose these long-standing veterans that have become a part of our family. These are three of my very favorites though.

Re: Rumor - Saints shopping Thomas, Moore, Sproles
 

Sproles' production was definitely down and I think we should try and get what we can while we can. A 4th or 5th rounder would be sufficent and we should be able to draft Dri Archer or someone like that. A nice weapon on both Special Teams and in the screen/short pass game as Sproles was.

I don't see us trading PT. If anything he restructures and stays as the Deuce McAllister to Khiry and our draft pick or UDFA. He's too important to our protection and is best back at picking up the blitz, and with Strief not resigned that could become a problem.

Moore can go. Too many receivers in this draft and we can find his replacement. Hate to see him leave, he's been one of my favorite Saints, but bottom line is this is a business and his time is up with us.

One of them has to go we need the cap space

Re: Rumor - Saints shopping Thomas, Moore, Sproles
 

I don't see us trading anyone. Maybe Sproles or PT but that's it. Like someone said earlier, why eat the contract if you can wait for them to be released? Moore is going to get cut. I think we get no takers for Sproles because of his contract. PT may get some looks but I'm not for getting rid of either of the RBs.

Re: Rumor - Saints shopping Thomas, Moore, Sproles
 

I'm really hoping Payton is going with a power run game, the only 1 I would keep is PT for quality depth, Sproles should draw a solid 4th possibly a 3rd to the right team, Moore I really can't say, if PT goes he should draw a 4th but I am still hesitant to let him go. There are some good power backs in the 3rd, 4th rounds and most teams don't view RB.'s the way they use to, lucky for us. With this play from Payton I think the O-line will get fixed first before any running back or WR gets picked. I think this is a smart move on our part because to beat a physical team you have to be physical also. Cute time is over.

Re: Rumor - Saints shopping Thomas, Moore, Sproles
 

You should look at PTs stats. He is out only RB with less than 4 YPC.. He was used a heck of a lot in the short passing game but that is not going to get you a running game. Our screen game was not up to par last year either.

As my previous post stated I hate to see him on another team but it is what it is and regardless of my feelings about Pierre Thomas I think he needs to go for two reasons. 1. Prove he is not a product of Sean Paytons offense. 2. Most importantly, the loss of PT and Sproles is going to somewhat force Sean Payton to be true to some sort of ground game. His weapons make it too easy for him to start passing and abandon our ground game.:bng:
