Jeffrey has already shown what he is. Toon never showed that kind of ability. The Bears are considering trades for anybody at this point.

I'd say forget the draft. You trade for Jeffrey. You sign Hakeem Nicks. You now have the likes of Jeffrey and Nicks on the outside with Cooks in the slot. You use Colston in a pass catching TE role. Willie Snead and Brandon Coleman are serviceable rotation men. You just fixed the lack of weapons on offense.

Defensively, you trade what you have to for a pass rusher, and whether it's a 4-3 or a 3-4 guy you adjust accordingly. How does Muhammad Wilkerson and Cam Jordan sound on the ends, and you bump Hicks down to NT? I guarantee those blitzes will start to get through more often. These are desperate times. Call the John Abraham's. We have to pressure the QB to make our press corners more effective. Wilkerson would completely change this defense in a good way, especially when we have Byrd and Lewis back.

I see your line of thinking, but we need much more than that, NT in particular as Jenkins is simply not doing it. The problem with Colton now is his hands... never used to be. Not sure it makes a difference if you move him to TE for one year before releasing him. Cap space goes up next year significantly. Maybe that's what Loomie is counting on.

robbing Peter to pay Paul is about to finally bite the Saints in the *** come 2016

Yep, about to pull the trigger on someone and don't be worried about The cap hit next year. Brees will be extended for 3 years with a hometown discount and everything will be great.

That is a red flag to me, why are they willing to push Brees's already huge cap next year up, unless they are planning on not having to deal with it?

This will produce about 23 million in dead money. No way the Saints could do that. No one will trade for a QB making 30 million a year not named Luck.

Sounds like the real theme for 2015 should be "Punt"!!

I just saw on ESPN where Drews hit is 30 million next year. Lets you know he will play out his contract in N.O. If we release him we will have about 23 million in dead money and no way some one will trade for a 30 million QB not named Luck.

I don't care if it was Julio Jones going to the O this D want hold. We need a disruptive NT to make this season even salvagable.
