Potential trades

[skinsfan69]

Lattimore has that dog in him. I love that about him. I think him coming to our culture, and I can't believe I am saying this now, but the culture here now is damn good. Remember that line? lol. I think he will be fine here. He just needs to get healthy. It's a risk but hard not to like this move.

I wonder is Lattimore was one of the players who wanted to be traded here?

I am still trying to figure out why the Saints did this. They have serious cap issues, so they trade their bsst player at a premium position for basically a 3rd and 4th and took a $30 million cap hit. Does that make sense to anyone?

Saints need to rebuild and need players to be on rookie contracts. Also they may need draft capital for any type of movement in the draft.

This. The way I heard it explained is that if they kept him on, he would count an additional 18 million above the 31 Million dead cap he counts no matter what. By trading him they get rid of that 18 Million and get 3 additional potential players on rookie contracts.

Saints and Lattimore restructured the contract prior to the trade, I assume the restructure adjusted the amount of cap hit.

from what i read his current contract is:
2024: $605,000
2025: $18m
2026: $18.5m

no guarantees/cap hit if cut (well possibly injury guarantees, those are pretty common).

the team has the cap space, the only risk is value for the picks. Needed a CB #1 to push everyone else down a spot, and this is probably the best you're going to be able to do to make that happen.

I do hope Lattimore can be a bit more disciplined in our scheme. The good news is that we've already played Tampa -- he seems to get into a fight with Mike Evans twice a year. The price wasn't low, especially when considering what AP has been able to do with draft picks, but shutdown corners are pretty hard to come by in the league and we will now have one under contract for 2 1/2 years. He could really help others hit their potential -- our D line will get some coverage sacks, and BSJ won't be exposed by WR1s all the time, not to mention Sanristil gets to go back to the slot which is his strength. One guy like this can make multiple players better. I cannot wait to see it.

The trade value was incredibly low for a CB1 on this defense. We have Miami's 3rd for Dotson, we gave them our 3rd which should be near the end of the round. We gave up our 4th but got their 5th, which will be a drop of around 15 spots. And we gave them their own 6th back.

For a CB who hasn't allowed a td in man coverage since 2021.
