Per shefter

@AdamSchefter: Saints still haven’t released RB Darren Sproles and now plan to trade him due to heavy interest, per ESPN source. Not being released, though

I hear it's coming. Marshall Faulk just ripped the Saints about it on NFLN. I kind of agree with him.

That $750k is dead money for the Saints whether we trade him or release him.

Something like "you could have held onto him, he was yours already." In a perturbed voice.

Maybe it's Sproles who wants to be traded.

Anything is possible. Now Ian Rappapordee says the Saints WILL trade him but may take their time.

We got a 4th rd pick for Ivory, I think thats the best we can hope for with sproles

With this deep draft I would be more than happy with a 4th for a player we were probably going to release.
