When you look at these numbers, it\'s not a question of if Howard will be traded, its when. There is no way the Saints are going to keep him with under 2 mil of cap space to operate. Howard is as good as gone. All we can hope for is a decent player and/or draft pick in return.

If we hadn\'t cut Tebucky we\'d still have 2.5 mil. So much for the smarts of our FO.

We\'re definitely trading Howard. I agree.
