If we don't get at least a 3rd round pick, we lose big time on this trade. Ivory is potentially our best running back. Pierre isn't getting any younger. Sproles is a 10 carry a game back at most, and Ingram sucks.

There is no scenario in which any team in the NFL gives a 3rd round pick for a constantly injured and fumble prone back like Chris Ivory. I'd be very surprised if we squeeze even a fourth out of this deal.

And RB's are a dime a dozen. Marshawn Lynch went for a 4th + future 5th. Plus trading Ivory frees up $2m that can be used in much better ways, like, say, upgrading from Strief (who was really bad last year) to Winston (who was really good last year).

So is Loomis' reputation going to take a hit with some people when a 3rd round pick is not gotten in this trade if it happens? Don't the Saint's have to make this trade just to sign their draft picks? I thought that if Ivory wasn't traded then someone else's contract had to be reworked for the Saint's to have the space for the picks. What are the resident cap experts saying?
