Now that the Saints are open for business would you trade for Lattimore? Say we give a 2nd and a 5th for him, his cap hit for 2024 is only 14.1mil with an out in 2025. You could restructure based on his play and go from there. This then gives us a solid shut down CB and a solid vet presence. His cap hits for the next two seasons are 31mil in 2025 and 28mil in 2026. Add a year and you could make the cap hits more favorable if you do restructure. What are some thoughts? Are. There other players on the Saints roster you would want?

I would love this if it happened honestly. Latimore would be a huge addition. Cap wise his 2024 year still hurts so Ballard would have to get crafty with money from other deals. He likes to keep a cushion throughout the season. Overall good job though.

I am good with Arnold as well. Should be a beast.

I think he would be a good singing. Long rangy corner who is still only 28. Came off a solid season after staying healthy finally. Would be a good cheaper option to help add a vet to the room. Would be outside starting day 1 and could help Jaylen Jones and Brents improve with competition. Any thoughts?

You have more mobile guys for one but you also see more Achilles injuries than ever before. I’m still curious about the playing fields and turf in general. I would like to see stats of what injuries have spiked based on playing surface. Knees and Achilles to be specific.

No worries at all. My mistake for sure.

I stand corrected. My bad! Yea that was my bad.

The Vikings did draft Hendon Hooker last year. I am curious if they see him as a potential starter. They grabbed a bridge guy in Sam Darnold so I am not sure if they go QB early. Obviously it’s a high value position so I could be way off.

So far you have multiple teams cutting very good players because of cap. Cap casualties this year seem to be some very talented players. With this being said I know we don’t go after top money seeking guys but there are solid players that could be huge for us. What are thoughts on some of these players available now. Plus some more will be added….

With some teams needing key positions outside of WR, I can’t see 3 WR’s plus Bowers all gone by 15. I think Rome is our guy at 15. FA will tell a lot for teams. Many WR’s could move to other teams. OT will end up being something that shakes up some boards IMO. Maybe 3 gone before us. Add in maybe 4 QB’s (teams always over draft). I can see a guy like Rome slip to 15.

I agree. Grover is a key piece for our D line. Him MPJ and Kenny would be my priorities.

Sweat from Texas would fit more as the 1 tech to replace grove. Run stopper but can still shoot the gap to disrupt the pocket.

I love when they drop the first mock. Looking at this at the end of April once the actual draft is always fun. Many names will be different. I would take Bowers with a smile though. Solid TE and great future weapon for someone.

I could see him signing a contract for 12/year if there were heavy guarantees for sure! I hope we are right and hopefully Ballard sees the value in a solid FS as well. I just think Ballard wants to stick with Rod Thomas and Nick Cross. Subpar safety group but I don’t know.

I would love having McKinney. As you said he fits Gus’ style and it allows us a playmaker and center fielder. Contract wise yes I bet he sits near 15 mil a year.
