New Orleans Saints CB Delvin Breaux is being shopped, according to a source.

I remember he had a pretty good game covering TY and some of our other receivers when we played the Saints at Lucas Oil.

 

"Breaux is also extremely affordable with a $615,000 base salary for 2016, and he'll be a restricted free agent next year, which means the team could keep him at a relatively cheap rate."

Could maybe play a depth role along with Melvin or something else. Who knows?

[csmopar]

hmm.  I like this idea for some reason.

[DaColts85]

Injuries are a key reason why they want to trade him.  Ballard is not big on players who can't play due to often injured.

Hard pass.

[krunk]

I wouldn't pass if you can get him on that cheap salary and he can play some depth for us and maybe some other things for this year.

What would he cost

base salary is 600k plus.  should already know the defense after having learned under Rob Ryan.

Isn't he the CFL guy everyone wanted? I wonder why he's being shopped now. Saints fans seem to hate it. He was really good for them but was bad last year due to injuries. He's cheap, so it's not like he hurts the Saints if they keep him.

why would a defense poor team give away dirt cheap corner

Since krunk doesn't start too many threads usually, I figured I better see what's on his mind. If he thinks we should take a run at Delvin for secondary, I say pull the trigger & sign the man. 

 

Krunk knows what he's talking about. I trust him. One slight glitch though, I'm not an NFL owner. It figures. Details; Details.

Has anybody here actually watched Delvin Breaux play? He gets exposed on a weekly basis. He had a horrendous first year in the NFL. He was a cheap starter for a team that couldn't have afforded better if they wanted to. (Saints were in one of the worst cap situations of all time when they signed him.) If he's on a cheap deal and being shopped by New Orleans, that's a huge red flag. Would be ironic if he joined the Colts though, because I've always kind of thought of him as the second coming of Jason David.

He also has a fractured fibula so there is 6 plus weeks alone.  http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000830326/article/delvin-breaux-out-46-weeks-with-fractured-fibula

Which has pretty much taken trading Breaux back off the trade table, but forced getting rid of the Orthopedic physician team.

If you want him, you can have him. He didn't give up to 10+ TD's last year....But sadly, he's remaining with the Saints.

I gave you a like cause most of this is true, except for the part about him being the second coming of Jason David. Breaux is overrated as hell, but he's not that bad as Jason David was. 

 

However, the Saints DO have some corners in the past 5 years who can properly be compared to David. I'm going with Cory White on that one. No one was worse at blown coverage than Cory White. 

 

Breaux often does have a few rare moments where he can make big plays. His biggest issue is that when one bad thing happens, it often snowballs and he gets exposed multiple times. The injury history is another problem. Last year, he stayed hurt and I'm pretty sure he stayed hurt most of 2015. 

 

For anyone that wants a laugh, this was the highlight of his rookie season....
