Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

I'm not promising anything but listen to the logic.

I believe SP is trying to get AJ Green, he is a proven beast.

https://www.cincinnati.com/story/spo...bs/2493043001/

1. Patriots already tried a deal, but it was too high. BB looking back to get a guy like Moss again, but the price was too high, but this shows BB knows he's a threat.
2. Green and Thomas on the field would kill the blitz and open up Hill and others for Brees. so SP might be willing to trade an OL Bengals need
3. Green is a 7 pro-bowler that hasn't lost a step on a crapy team with average QB's, much like sanders with lions. What will he do with a good QB?
4. Green is a Red Zone target, even if he loses a step he has a freakish jump and long arms. More TD's than Thomas for this reason. IF he is double-teamed it opes up others for brees.
5. Green would want the trade to a real team
6. Green and Thomas open up the run game for Kamara because they cant play close.
7. Green probably has 2-4 more years in him and Brees needs a big target, has about the same amount of time and is exactly what BB did with Patriots trade for Moss. Green if nothing opens up Thomas and others.
8. And the biggest one -SP can not allow AJ Green to be traded to Greenbay or 49'ers. GB Rogers can not be allowed to have a target like Green, and 49ers would be hard to beat with Green on their roster.
9. you can add Bridgewater to the rebuilding Bengals trade because they need a QB and his contract ends in March. Bengals might see a 5-0 winning QB as a future. The future of NO is T. Hill. So we don't lose a #1 draft pick

For this reason, I think it's just a chess move. You can not allow GB or SF to get AJ Green or we might lose in the playoffs. So you take him off the table for the teams we will play in the playoffs and hope he works out.
I'm sure SP is thinking also " Jesus can you imagine Rogers or SF with AJ Green ?" Who is going to cover him and that allow them the run and others to get open.

Sometimes you are not trading just for guys, sometimes you trade so your rivals don't get guys, and its worth the draft pick.

For this reason, I think SP is trying to get Green, just to get him off the table. I would not be surprised if NO and GB were in a bidding war. Rogers needs an AJ Green bad.

Rumour that won't geaux away...

Bengals asking for multiple picks for a half season rental...

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

Bengals are 0-8, not going anywhere no time soon. They need as many future draft picks as possible.

Why waste someone's (AJ Green) career who is still in their prime? He walks next year and they get nothing. Give that man an opportunity to win.

The Cincy Bengaloos is a joke of a franchise.

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

Bengals Owner and GM is not your average prideful individual, afterall, he's not just the owner, but GM...

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

Yep. Mike Brown, son of Paul Brown, living proof that football skills are not inherited.

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

Wondering if Bengals are channeling their inner Dell Demps and asking for a ridiculous amount in return.

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

I'm not defending the Bengals, who are a dumpster fire, BUT,
teams are pissed that they can't just poach the Bengals best players? Don't know about the other players, but Green has said he does not want to be traded

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

Healthy Dez vs AJ green (coming back from a serious injury)....


I'll take a healthy Dez. I think they would perform similarly and Dez is on the market, won't need to pay a ransom to get the guy.

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

AJ is a classy dude on and off the field and he would never talk negative about the organization/team but ...

Did you catch his sideline reaction to his teams miserably performance vs the Steelers on MNF a few weeks back? If I had to paraphrase his thoughts ... "wtf ?! why am I here ?... I'm gonna head on out".

Even a lot of fans want him to be traded because he deserves better & want to see him win .... somewhere.

I'm just hoping this elite player doesn't end up in Green Bay.

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

Initially I was all in on Mr. Bryant. He's been posting Instagram videos last 3 weeks however no one is calling. Not even for a visit/discussion.

He could be done.

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

Fast forward to 1:07 for AJ Green comments ...

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

If it makes absolutely perfect sense to trade AJG, then it isn't going to happen. Remember, Brown is the genius who refused to trade Carson Palmer after Palmer said "trade me or I retire". Palmer, retired for one year, which allowed him to recover from the beating he took with the sorry Bengals O line, then went on to play for the Cards. Brown, got nothing but his ego stroked. The man is an idiot.

Some years back I had a business meeting in NYC. I flew into JFK and got in the line waiting for a cab. Who was in front of me but Mike Brown. So, I struck up a conversation. My conclusion was that ) he was a nice guy and 2) he's a penny pinching SOB. How may billionaires stand in line with people like me waiting for a cab.

Talib to the Dolphins.

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

A 5th rounder and a expiring contract.

Interesting move.

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

I think it’s a move for the phin to get a comp pick... no reason to grab talib when your rebuilding

Stolen from NFL memes. So probably not true, but would be hilarious.

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

IF the Patriots get OJ Howard from the Bucs, they could get really scary.

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

Or AJ Green.

It will really suck if Green Bay gets him too.

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

Buckle up boys. I think something is about to happen.

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

I don't.

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

"Buckle up" doesn't sound like AJ Green :p.


JK ...

What you got XVI?

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

Rumor is the deal is done for Green. I'll believe when I see it.

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

Twitter Troll.

I don't believe it.

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

Definitely, guy is a douche.

"Ooo my sources are telling me saints are about to do something big!!"

People go mad for him because he acts like he has an insider's report.

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

I have an impulse to murder Brian.

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

Thing is, folks on here routinely post tweets that are supposedly from him, but it's a fake account. Just checked his official twitter and he didnt say anything about it. Not trying to defend him, but in this case, he's innocent.

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

We can always give lil dez a chance again

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

We just have to hope that Cook can start to make an impact, and that Kamara can stay healthy going forward. And maybe, just maybe someone else in our receiving corps will develop a pulse.

Re: 2019 New Orleans Saints: Trade Deadline
 

At least Tre’Quan Smith and Kirkwood will be back.

Funny thing is that Dallas fans/media actually believed Jamal was on his way here.

Reports say that the Cows offered a 1st but the Jets wanted more.

Kirkwood was highly productive before injury ended his season last year.
