What Is Stephone Anthony's Trade Value?

With proper coaching who knows how good Anthony can be? Trading him is not an option.

Seriously, that is the great unknown. We've taken some potentially great linebackers in the past and coached them straight into mediocrity. Nolan could just turn him into somebody.

For a 34 defense based team it should be very good.

He got a lot of tackles his first year after running the RB down from behind after vacating the spot the RB just ran through. Atrocious instincts. New D coach simply recognized that.

What happened subsequently with his production is a bit befuddling. Still lots of questions on whether he still fits in. But if the Saints trade him, what is his value?

Can't be good. If Cooks, who was 7th in the league in yards, was worth a very late round 1rst I can't imaging anyone is breaking down the door for Stephone.

Anthony will find a role before Te'O does

My gut instincts tell me Anthony will get released, could benefit from Nolan and maybe turn into a decent utility backup LB???

Ellerbe goes first imo. Bigger cap savings and Anthony not in the tub all the time.

I'd have backup for Ellerbe who really showed something last season...

Or draft Foster to replace him, let him acclimate to the NFL game...

But I wouldn't just get rid of Ellerbe without a plan to improve the position...

+1. When Ellerbe was available last season, he has been above average. I don't have the Saints sack #'s available but last season I'm sure he is top 5 on the team in sacks, QB hurries & QB tackles for losses.

Even in a limited role, that is solid production we must have.
