The report is BS but I've said before I think we're going to trade a lot of picks because there are not 7 roster spots available for rookies. We're likely trading up in the draft or trading for a veteran player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont have a lot of meaningful ammo to move up too far... those three picks in the 6th and 7th are not worth much in a move up... Possibly they could package their 4th and 5th together to move up 12 spots or so in the 4th Round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s in the last year of his deal and wants to be paid top RB money. The Saints just committed a zillion dollars to Thomas (and rightfully so). Taysom isn’t going anywhere. They just paid Sanders. That doesn’t even factor in the unwarranted, ridiculous, contract Peat got. They have a TON of money tied up in the offense. Brees is deep in the back 9 and believe it or not A LOT of people here were ready for him to move on. Kamara is in their plans for this year only in all likelihood. If he were to walk after this season they’d likely end up with a 3rd in the 2022 draft. The packages suggested are FAR superior to that. In fact, they are right in line with what it will take to get him. If you offered the Saints pick 54 I think they’d take it. Maybe you’d have to add one of the 6ths but that’s about what we are talking. The Saints could take one of the top 5 backs there (maybe the local guy in CEH) and have him on the rookie deal. No chance. They are all in for this season. They aren’t tearing this thing down in the final season of a Super Bowl run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you get a haul for him but you would at least get a 3rd round pick for him. What is more valuable pick 54 in the upcoming draft or one year of Kamara (In a year where you are desperately trying to win) and a future 3rd round pick? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any team that is interested in getting Kamara realizes that his acquisition means a commitment to paying him big bucks the following season in order to keep him. Otherwise giving up a medium to high pick would make no sense because it would be only for a rental player. If a team is willing to give up a third round pick it would make more sense to keep the pick and draft a back and have that back for a number of years on a rookie deal. The Bills got Singletary last year in the third round. The point being a good back could be acquired with a similar pick instead of using it for Kamara, either a near future high cost player or a one year rental player. That would make no sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way is NO trading their star playmaker for a second and a fifth this year. Only if they are rebuilding - which might happen when Brees retires next year and if Taysom Hill does not work out. A more realistic option might be to work out a deal with Kareem Hunt. If the Brownies dont match, the Bills need to cough up a second rounder. Even though the above is more realistic, I dont want to do it. I'd rather draft a RB in the second or third round if I am that desperate - will come cheaper than either Kamara or Hunt and with the general devaluation of the position - I am confident we can find someone decent and ready to spell Singletary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their 2nd, 3rd and 4th is still worth less than pick 40 (although it’s close). I wouldn’t have your hopes up about a pick in that neighborhood. It more likely that they try to move back into the 3rd.

Yes, they could get to the mid to late 30,s... Without a first round pick though, i think they will make the 2nd and 3rd round picks..... Beane has found H Phillips, Singletary and Knox in the third round the last two years so my hope is that he makes the pick.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Kamara has 81 receptions exactly in all 3 years. Pretty darn consistent.

If they don’t make some moves like this they are going to be a team not good enough with some massive contracts. I also think some on here are WAY overrating the player that he was last year. He was an average back that looked like he lost his explosiveness. This is a “sell high” opportunity for the Saints. If they could trade Kamara in the last year of his contract for one of the top 5 backs in the first year of their deal I think that they’d take it. Loomis has some of that BB mentality when it comes to getting rid of a guy before it’s popular. There have been rumblings for months around here about Kamara going. There may be no fire but there’s definitely smoke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
