Not sure trading Armstead is advisable now with our lack of depth.

Although I am not in favor of trading Armstead, I can see a valid argument to do so. The oft injured Armstead is one major reason why the Saints would need more quality depth on the offensive line. Moving Armstead could "kill two birds with one stone". It could stabilize the starting lineup of the line AND give the Saints the means of adding another quality piece to that squad.

Depth?

LT Terron Armstead (Has played less than 16 games in last two seasons)
LG/LT Andrus Peat (Played LT 8+ gms 2016, Played LT 9+ gms 2017)
RT/LT Ryan Ramczyk (Played LT 2+gms including start 1st career game)
LG/LT Jermon Bushrod (Starting LT for Superbowl Winning Saints 2010)

We have depth and could spend the draft pick we'd get back on a LG, C, RG, RT and still have a great starting unit...

We're spending too much money and have too many LT to not make the move and address other areas, even along the offensive line...

I'd rather had kept Senio Kelemete instead of Demario Davis and moved Armstead...
