What would Kenny Vaccaro's Trade value be?

I dont think you would get a first for him especially since he is in a contract season and he just got popped on Adderall of all things but still a 4 game PED suspension will be used against you in negotiations.

I think he is certainly worth a 3rd to most of the league and if you have a savvy, patient GM he could bring you a low 2nd in the draft.

I think he is worth more to us on our roster than either of those picks however and we would be better off leveraging his suspension into lowering his figures on a longterm deal.

Yeah, i'm not convinced we should but there's a couple things here make it intriguing:

1) Kenny Vaccaro is a valuable asset in the NFL and worthy of compensation and Saints have to make a long term decision
2) Jamal Adams is a talented safety freak and could be sitting there for us at 11.

there is no one on this team that the saints can trade away that has any "real" value to another team (well ok maybe to the browns lol), anyone the saints are willing to let go of will just be cut loose and the only ones worth anything are the few stars of the team that you would have to immediately go out and sign that exact same level or better player and lose in the long run.

this team has no bargaining chips for other players or draft picks that they can afford to let go of.

if I were forced to pick one, cooks, because he is fast but too short and he is a specialty player who needs others to make him good. you saw when he had no help when the other receivers were out, he couldn't get open even on the plays he wasn't double teamed.

I think we could swap cooks for a draft pick and get a bigger taller receiver but that's going to be rolling the dice gamble if you try that

I think Adams will be on the board at 11 and is a 1st round talent. He is a solid all around football player and someone I would not be opposed to adding although I think you may be able to slide down and take him somewhere in the middle of the first.

I dont think I would get rid of KV though. That Malcom Jenkins thing is still biting us in the arse and KV has actually played well here.

If anything especially with a DB coach as DC I would hope Dennis Allen is smart enough if we did go that route to utilize the 3 safety sets that we ran successfully with less talent in 2013.

KV, Bell, and Adams can all work in the box, slot, and just give you so much versatility. As long as we added a solid immediate pass rusher we could have an elite secondary with all 3 of them playing backfield together.

It would certainly be interesting. I think if we went that route though Byrd would need to drastically pay cut himself or we would have to cut him and get some of that cap back in order to fill other needs.

Would KV retrieve us a late 1? Decent 2nd round value?

I don't see that happening

No shot. 3rd and more likely 4th at best

2nd round pick???? Lol, not a chance. 6th round pick maybe or an earlier round pick exchange. Teams dont give up a second unless its a QB or an elite game changer.

problem in the nfl is trading valuable assets isn't very common place. Bust Mingo got a 5th from the pats. Vaccaro would easily fetch a 3rd. 2nd is mostly likeliest of scenarios.

In true Saints fashion, if Jamal was sitting there available, Loomis and co. would fine some kind of way to reach for a 4th rounder that nobody else was going to take until the 6th.
