• Cut Coleman and Meredith (+$8 mil in cap space)
• Trade AJ Klein and a 5th round pick for 3rd rounder (adding $4 mil cap space)
•offer Peat a 4 year $40 mil extension I gave him a little more value than Warford because Peat can also play tackle if needed)
• Offer Ingram 3 years $12 million
• Offer Alex Okafor 2 years $8 million
• Bring Davison, Robertson, Banjo and Bushrod back for the vet minimum
• Give Wil Lutz 5 years $12.5 mil extension
• Sign TE Jesse James 3 years $10.5 mil contract to be new starting TE.
• Sign slot WR Cole Beasley 3 years $15 mil contract (Hunter Renfrow would be even more ideal in the draft $$ wise)
• 2nd round draft pick on Debo Samuel to give us a legitimate option opposite Thomas while also a real kick/punt returner option. Jalen Hurd, Hunter Renfrow and David Sills are all interesting prospects too.
• If possible take TE Jace Sternberger in the middle rounds as a pure recieving threat TE.
• I’d love to trade to to get Jaylon Ferguson from La Tech or Kyler Murray but that won’t happen.

Who is giving up a third rounder for aj Klein?

Do like the idea of Jesse James at tight end but would also have to draft someone

Nobody is gonna trade us a 3rd rounder for Klein and a 6th.

Any plan that doesn't start with "get drew to renegotiate contract" wont work.

Stern Berger is a early second prospect

I know we would like to save money wherever possible but

quote:

Peat a 4 year $40 mil extension

quote:

Ingram 3 years $12 million

quote:

Wil Lutz 5 years $12.5 mil extension


all of those players are worth more and could get more on the open market

quote:

No one is giving you that trade ever you'd be lucky to get a 7th rounder for Klein at this point. His contract is terrible.

Sure. You could argue the risk to keep Meredith is worth it, he's had close to 2 years of rehab now.

That won't happen. Thats saying Klein has a high 4th value and that isn't the case

quote:

• Offer Ingram 3 years $12 million


You can argue the Peat one for sure.
The Ingram one I think will be closer to 6mil IMHO

quote:

Offer Alex Okafor 2 years $8 million


Probably the most underrated vet signing we'd have

quote:

Bring Davison, Robertson, Banjo and Bushrod back for the vet minimum


You won't sign Davison for minimum, he's not a big name but he's a huge reason why we're so damn elite vs the run. That still gets paid

Robertson will probably get slightly more than minimum (1.5m ish)

quote:

Give Wil Lutz 5 years $12.5 mil extension


I don't know if he'd agree. Rfa this year, we will likely slap 2nd round tender on him this year and he may risk a year to get paid more.

quote:

Sign TE Jesse James 3 years $10.5 mil contract to be new starting TE.


Yes

quote:

Sign slot WR Cole Beasley 3 years $15 mil contract (Hunter Renfrow would be even more ideal in the draft $$ wise)


If that's his cost? Hell yes

quote:

Nahhh.

I think any plan require a FA WR, not draft. We need someone to contribute on day 1 and thats rare at WR.

Jalen Hurd

After watching what he’s done his last three seasons of college football (on the field), this kid would kill in the Saints offense. A 6’4” 220 lbs guy that runs a sub 4.5 40. He has running back feet for running after the catch. He shockingly runs pretty good routes for a guy recently converted to wr. With Curtis Johnson coaching him up, he could be develop into something special.
