I'm just glad the Saints made a move at a position of need & based on the details, we stole him for nothing.

Hopefully coming to a team with a winning record and history (for the last decade give or take) and a solid locker room will make a difference too. Am I grasping?

Who knows. I just hope this guy doesn't come in and make waves...

+1 SF.

The locker room is strong in NO, mentally focused men and coaches. Aaron Glenn will get the most out of Eli. I'm certain he will.

Just 2 short seasons ago, he was a top 10 pick. I'm looking at the upcoming schedule and all I see are potent air attacks with major WR threats. IMO we just signed a guy who will minimize all of those "late td bombs" that we are becoming too used to with Ken Crawley.

Immature? Surely but I'm confident he'll grow up in New Orleans on and off the field. At the end of the day, we all want players that will give us the best chance to win.

Major upside here & he's damn near the same age as Lattimore.

Now even though he's been really bad at football, I do like the move. Very low risk with big upside. Sometimes a player just needs a fresh start. Looking forward to see if we can get him playing up to his potential.

Lattimore-
Defense: #58 CB
Coverage: #59 CB

Crawley-
Defense: #105 CB
Coverage: #101 CB

They've been so bad at football too.

Biggest question mark is how quickly can he pick up the scheme? A guy like Patrick Peterson would've been plug and play immediately. Not so sure it'll be the same case with Eli.

He’s significantly better than both Crawley and P.J. Williams. There’s no doubt about that.

Crawley has been burned 1 outof every 10.75 snaps with 3 pass defenses

Apple has been burned 1 out of every 14 snaps with 5 pass defenses and 1 Forced Fumble...

So yes an upgrade!
