Saints Could Trade For Dolphins WR Jarvis Landry

Put yourself in the shoes of Michael Thomas or Marshon Lattimore. How would you view the team over-paying for another player at your position?

I think we sign mid-level vets and draft well in 2018. The only position I could justify a big contract is middle linebacker.

I’ve seen a few reporters saying that the Saints could be one of the teams interested in trading for Landry, but their great insight basically amounts to it being because he’s from Louisiana lol.

I think if I were in their shoes, I'd just get over it. It's not like either of those players are going to lose their jobs. So is it about winning or is it about egos? If you let egos run a team, then you lose.

I can' imagine why any Saints fan would not want Jarvis Landry, as long as he doesn't cost you too many assets. He probably has the best hands in the league and while he isn't a burner, he has a lot more open field quickness than Thomas. He's played in a bad offense. I guarantee he'd blow it up with an actual NFL QB.

I don't believe the Saints have a reliable weapon at receiver other than Thomas, so why the heck should Thomas object?

What I'm starting to gather is that a lot of folks want us to somehow win a Championship using coupons.

Yeah, there has to be a limit for how much you pay, or how much you give up for one player. But you don't get anything for free. What I'm reading in this thread is some people seem to think Landry isn't worth giving up much of anything, and that he isn't a need for the team. I just don't get that.

You can plug in guys all day long, but that's all most of them will be... plugs. Jarvis Landry's don't grow on trees. I don't know, someone will probably criticize me for commenting on the Saints, but some of what I read just made me scratch my head.

They come from the same place he came from, the draft.

And they're all as good as him? Wow, everyone should go draft Jerry Rice and Joe Montana because, apparently, all you have to do is draft someone, and the rest is history.

How about a known commodity? Wouldn't you want that? If not, please explain why. The draft is always there, and you do what you can with it. But when you can get established players without breaking the bank or selling the farm, it's a good idea to take advantage of that.

This is of course the quandry. Good established players are going to cost treasure in either dollars, personnel/picks, or both.

Draft picks on 5 year contracts are the only premium talent that doesn't break the bank. If you're not spending a ton of money, of giving up significant draft picks, then it's probably not premium talent.

I wouldnt exactly say we would be "overpaying" for Landry. He has more catches over the past 3 years than any other WR.
