Potential trades

You're getting a flawed player at the trade deadline.
Health, Contract, attitude, or a combo of the 3.

Lattimore has a bad hamstring.
There is some risk but the reward is moving BSJ to WR2 and Sainristril to the slot with help deep. the upside outweighs the contract which isn't that bad.

Flawed? A 4 time pro bowler who some Saints fans are calling the best corner they've ever had who is 28 years old. Please cite us attitude examples with him.

Again, he is an upgrade. Our corners prior to him needed a lot of help. Options WERE limited. He was easily the BEST available and has been healthy all year.

He's definitely flawed. He's hurt quite often.

I can't cite any attitude problems, but he's a guy who runs hot on the field. I always disliked him, but I'm sure I'm gonna love it now.

If he's healthy I agree that he's a big upgrade.

It's the NFL. Injuries happen and can unpredictably. You don't fear this risk for when the reward is excellence. He has been healthy all year and is still a great corner. You honestly think we could have competed in the playoffs with our corners pre Lattimore? No way. This is why this move was made. We have a rock star qb finally on a rookie contract. The window is now.

What was your plan if you are opposed to getting Lattimore?

He is healthy now. Quit fearing greatness and put your faith in Peters. He has done everything else right.

"Quit fearing greatness". WTF does that even mean?

My plan would've been to stay the course and keep the draft capital.

As I said though, I trust Peters and think this move is ok. I'm just not over-the-moon about it.

You know damn well that this team prior to getting Lattimore could not beat the big boys in the playoffs. Our corners were a liability. You are against getting a 4 time pro bowler cb at 28 years old for draft capital. Guess what? We still have plenty of draft capital also.

You are fearing greatness because you just said you'd rather keep draft capital with our corners pre Lattimore which would not work. Having a legitimate #1 cb gives us a chance for greatness in the playoffs. We did not have this prior to Lattimore.

I meant players in general that are on the trade block are flawed.

Lattimore has injury concerns and is the second highest paid CB in the NFL.
For a 3rd, it’s a low risk trade that should pay off immediately.

OK got it. I keep having nightmares how AJ Brown torched our secondary next year. I don't want that to happen again by any team. Getting a real #1 corner will help a lot. Interested to see how it works out but like the bold move by AP. Peters seems to have a great balance on when to make big moves (Lattimore) and when to stay on the sidelines (Aiyuk).
