re: Do the Saints have the balls to make a big trade?

The fatal flaw in this trade plan is that Colston($10 mil) will cost us money against the cap to trade(a trade is like cutting a player; it accelerates their bonus to the current year).

And you'd be insane to trade Toon or Stills because they have tons of potential and are on cheap contracts.

So we have Parker and Tanner who have played well but do you think anyone would give us a better LB than what we have for one of them? They are still roster bubble guys after all.

Edit:
Sorry bad math there. Moore would actually save us $762,500 if we traded him but Colston would still cost money.

So if anything we would have to ask if Moore could fetch a starting OLB in a trade. I'm not seeing it but it's definitely more probable than Tanner or Parker.
