NFL Trade Deadline “Ideas”

Also, there's this ...

So why would Atlanta deal him? They are 3-4, having won two in a row. Still possible for them to make the playoffs.

Exactly.

It's not as if the marriage was all sunshine and unicorns, regardless.

Cheap price to pay for the Saints if they think that he can stabilize their defense.

That being said they are leveraging the future hard. Not that there is a lot of future after Brees I suppose.

Interesting move. Could mean one of two things, Peterson isn’t available ( saints were reported interested), or the Saints were priced out of it.

Meh. Not exactly a shutdown corner.

The Saints have almost exactly $2M in cap space. Apple's remaining 2018 salary is about $1M. The Saints will also get a credit against the cap for the remaining salary of whoever they cut to make room for Apple, so the net cap hit will be $750k or less for this season. Apple is also under contract for only $2.5M in 2019.

Peterson's remaining 2018 cap hit would be around $6.2M this week ($5.5M after this week), and $11M next season, when the Saints have only about $21M in cap space (at the moment).

Apple is five years younger, and cheap enough to not require any major cap space maneuvering by the Saints to get the deal done. Probably a lower draft pick cost, too.

But, he might be enough for the Saints at this point - AND not break their cap (they have even less space than the Pats).

No first rounder could’ve hurt NO chances.

Get Landon Harrison and Peterson who said you cant buy a championship.
Honestly Falcons should he all over Landon Collins.

 

[Zarozzor]

Get Harrison and Peterson and go ahead and have the rings carved.

derek barnett done for the year. eagles are going to get desperate at the deadline.

Report: Derek Barnett out for year after shoulder surgery

This year could be a change that sees the NFL trade deadline finally join the MLB/NBA in terms of intrigue. I think 3 trades is already more than most years.

Leaning towards priced out.
Eagles are desperate New England may be thrown around to raise cost.
However Peterson and Gilmore manning the corners.
Wow

All I need is Harrison, Collins, Reddick, and Peterson, and I will be satisfied.
