Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

Dolphins acquired WR Kenny Stills from the Dolphins in exchange for LB Dannell Ellerbe and a 2015 third-round pick.

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

I'm Stills biggest fan and I even love this trade, the Loomis snagged a LB and a 3rd round pick for a WR that was drafted in the 5th round.

Sounds like a New England type trade to me, finally. For once, Saints taken advantage of idiots running a front office of another team. Even if Ellerbe never sees the field, the Saints landed another draft pick, that's huge so now they can deal in the draft and not loose picks in a round. I just hope they don't unload both 1st round picks to move up for a WR since one can be found in Round 2 and Drew will make him look like million bucks too just like he did with Stills

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

I dont like his cap hit though. Im assuming they are going to restructure. All in all we pick up a 3rd and Dolphins get a very good WR.

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

At first, when the possibility of Still being traded came up, I was like "WTF". Now, after some thought, I dig it. We'll either sign or draft someone and be just fine. We turned a 5th round pick into a 3rd and a position of need player.

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

This is a Jeff Ireland influenced move 100%.

Yes, Ellerbe will be restructured.

Don't forget we wanted him coming from Baltimore!

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

I don't know what to think, ellerbe was great for the Ravens but I don't know how he was at Miami. To get a third rd pick plus ellerbe seems to be a even swap. I hate to see Kenny Still go but I can understand they trying to improve the defense. No more sacrificing offense for defense, PLEASE!

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

Not sure what Ellerbe contract is this year after his guarantees are payed but $6.5 and $6ml in the next two years isnt bad

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

If they stay put, Saints have 5 picks in first 3 rounds OMG

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

Dolphins take the cap hit for this year. And it's a very reduced salary for Ellersby for our cap. Another win for us.

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

This is a deep WR drafr. I wouldn't be surprised if the 31st Pick in the 1st Round becomes Dorrial Green-Beckham.

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

Dannell Ellerbe had a total of 2 tackles last year........

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

OOOOOHHHHHH yes please

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

I wonder if they plan to bundle several picks to move up?

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

Because he only played in one game

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

They must REALLY REALLY love this draft class.

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

Helloooooo Vic Beasley!!

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

The year before he had over a hundred tackles a sack and two picks and five pd's

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

Cant see it after last year.
coach seems to be dumping anyone with character issues and has made too many comments about the locker room for me to see him draft him

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

I really hope they have a couple of WR's in mind. We are down to Cooks, Toon and Colston. Sounds like a lot of quick slants and rb screens

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

I think coach is pretty high on Seantavious Jones... At least that's something I remember reading.

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

Or Sherff. And to be honest,I think I'd rather Sherff

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

Nothing wrong with that, Seattle runs a basic offense and look what they have done .... Don't be surprised when the Saints draft a WR or bring in a couple UDFA WRs this year

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

I'd rather stay at 13 and 31, take Sheirff and BPA on defense at 31

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

Like I said:

"Meanwhile, new #Saints LB Dannell Ellerbe has agreed to restructure his contract after his trade from Miami. Will help NO cap situation"

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

Man,I can't see scherff falling to 13, but here's to hoping...

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

I know one thing for sure!!

If this trading carries on the way it is I may as well take down the Saints calendar I got for Christmas from my daughters this year! . . . . . . There won't be anyone on it that still plays for us except for Brees!!! :-)

GEAUX SAINTS! (whats left of them that is) LOL!

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

Starting to like Ellerbe a lil more for restructuring his deal.

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

Amari Cooper?

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

Not many ufa wr's out there. Crabtree, Denarius Moore, Harvin and Sanzenbacher.

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

I haven't seen purging like this since that time I ate a tainted microwave burrito!




... I'll show myself out lol.

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

Much rather have Kevin White and he will be there at 13 more than likely.

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

Will somebody post information about his stats? Thanks.

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

That list? Only Crabtree (possession WR with good hands) on reasonable contract but I think we draft WR.

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

#whodahellsdatontheteam. Saints just drank a gallon of Maylox

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

More chance of Cooper being there than White

White is bigger,faster

Re: Saints trade Stills to the Dolphins
 

RaginCajun83 mentioned this earlier but it finally looks like Saints really are taking a page from the patriots guide to team building. I can't remember the last time we accumulated the picks we have.

Now, if we can just Not follow our historical trend in using said picks. I hope we nail this years draft. Lord knows we need to!
