fricking awesome game last night, I'm hyped that Hardee was able to step up and be good

But we can't end up in that situation against a team with real WRs. They need to spend the bye working out some free agents or arrange a trade for some decent guys for CB4/5

Hardee played great in the preseason and looked good last night. Maybe he can play. I guess we will find out

And honestly I doubt there is a CB on the street any better.

I’m not really sure that Hardee is ready tbh. I don’t even think compared to PJ and Crawley he is ready. Hardee looked lost out there

Lattimore absolute worst cases misses one game. Him, Crawley, Williams, and Hardee are a fine starting unit. We don't need to go making desperate trades or anything unless he and Crawley both go down.

I wouldn’t be opposed to looking at CB trade candidates at the deadline.

We already tried working out some guys. Didn’t work out. Next step is to just trade for one

This. Redskin WRs are average at best and Alex Smith is not the most accurate NFL QB.

So that helped our CB situation last night.

But the Saints do need to upgrade the defensive backfield to defend against the looming better competition.

Ask the Cardinals what they would want for Patrick Peterson. If we're going all in for another ring for Brees then why the hell not? Peterson is probably hungry for a ring as well and he won't be sniffing one for a while as Arizona is in rebuilding mode under a new head coach.

I doubt it would take any high draft picks to get him. Not sure what his salary is, but it's probably something that would make a trade unfeasible.

Honestly the Saints should explore trades for any decent defensive back or even a linebacker. Go to teams that are rebuilding like Arizona, Oakland, Buffalo, etc. to inquire about guys they might want to deal that don't fit in their future plans.

DB is easier with that pressure on the qb.
