That's exactly the kind of urgency we've not had in some time...

Still need some depth at WR and of course there's the elephant that's not in the room at Guard...

Saints acquire DE/OLB Chris McCain from Dolphins for conditional 7th-rounder
We take a break from Drew Brees correctly slamming Communist Kaepernick's stance on the national anthem to discuss an insignificant trade the Saints have made. What page is this going to be in tomorrow's edition of the Times-Picayune in the wake of the Brees quotes? Z-716?

This trade may not matter at all, but it makes sense for both teams. Chris McCain is a former undrafted free agent from 2014 with just two career sacks. He saw very brief action last year despite Cameron Wake sustaining a season-ending injury. That shows how little regard the Dolphins had for him. They were probably going to cut him this weekend, so why not potentially get a seventh-round pick for him? As for the Saints, they need pass-rushing depth, so McCain might be able to clinch a roster spot.

Grade for Saints - B-
Grade for Dolphins - B

From Walter Football...

Sept. 2 Updates

Saints re-sign C Max Unger (3 years, $21 million): B Grade

The Saints dealt Jimmy Graham to the Seahawks for Max Unger and a 2015 first-round pick. A year later, and it's evident who won the trade, though it's thanks in part to Graham's torn patellar tendon.

Unger, meanwhile, was solid but unspectacular last season. Given the issues the Saints have on their offensive line, it's nice that they'll be keeping a dependable player for several years.

I think this contract is about right. It may be on the slightly expensive side, given that Unger just turned 30 and could decline at any time, but the Saints should be safe. I feel as though a "B" grade is warranted.

I think we can put to rest whether or not we should have cut Evans considering even a team with an atrocious O-Line has let him go.

Wanna bet there's a ton of fans that want us to resign him, despite the fact that he graded out as our worst O-Lineman last year?
