Smart move... Get something instead of cutting him. Nice job Mickey!

Do what you have to do but man, all he did was make plays. Good point, at least we got something out of it. Probably going to work out better for him long term going to a good team, not that we are not but come on...who would not want to play for them.

Nice... someone gave a draft pick for him.

Looking forward to seeing Murphy return some kicks.

He was not going to make the team as a wr and he was made obsolete by murphy's play in the return game. Even if it's a 7th it's better than nothing.

Re: Saints trading Saunders to Pats for future pick

I'm all for keeping Murphy instead, but didn't Saunders do a better job returning?

Re: Saints trading Saunders to Pats for future pick

I think Saunders were a better pure returner but he would never be better than the 7th WR on the team. Murphy might be the 4th RB which we usually use a lot more.

Per Rapoport, the deal is for a future conditional seventh-round pick.

Re: Saints trading Saunders to Pats for future pick

7th round pick if he meets the conditions - or starting at a 7th rounder, that can escalate? Though I think I already know the answer.
