Rumor - Saints shopping Thomas, Moore, Sproles
 

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Saints are "shopping" Pierre Thomas and Lance Moore, and "could be open" to dealing Darren Sproles.

The Saints need to clear cap space, and offloading Thomas and Moore would free up more than $5 million. Trading Thomas ahead of his age-30 season would also help clear the logjam in New Orleans' backfield. Thomas has been considered a candidate for release because of his $2.9 million cap number/salary, but he was by far the Saints most effective back in 2013. 2014 is the final year of his contract, so he could definitely draw some trade interest.

I'll bet they have 20 RB's/WR's targeted in this draft.

I like this lets get younger folks ! Sure we have a special place for these players n our black n gold hearts but younger is the way to go

I just heard this on NFLSirius. I then used the search feature here and didn't need to post :)

It's business, we are too deep with quality RBs and Stills has proven to be a cheaper replacement for Moore.

That doesn't change the fact that seeing Lance Moore, or Pierre Thomas in another teams uniform will knot my gut for a while. I feel like they grew up in my house.

What are we going to get for PT or Moore? An 8th rounder? :D

Re: Rumor - Saints shopping Thomas, Moore, Sproles
 

I am keep saying...

WR in the first round looks more and more solid. If you know you are going WR as BPA at 27 and the talent that is there is a good shot at landing a roster spot why now shop for picks.

That's a whole lot of folks to let loose. Not sure I want them to go, but if they can get younger guys at a better price, so be it.

Not sure on the Pierre Thomas call at all, but I guess we will see. We got lots of good WRs, not so many good RBs.

I still say we trade Ingram...even if it for a late round pick. This draft is so deep that I would be happy with a 6th round pick for him. My reason for saying this is that I don't see him resigning with us next year so before he walks let's get something for him...and then choose between Sproles and Thomas.

As much as I love Moore's TD dances...which he should have quite a few stored up since he hasn't been getting there too much lately...its time to let him go...
