This.

I know it seems like we've been saying it for 5-6 years now, but the Saints are playing for "today" rather than worrying a ton about the future. Trading Kamara doesn't help you in 2020 as much as having him on the roster.

I, like you, believe the Saints are going get into the 2nd round because that's just been their MO in virtually all of the Payton-era drafts. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised, at all, if the Saints trade up in the first round.

I'm not trying to devalue what Kamara (when healthy) does for the team, I just think SP and Loomis have shown that they can ferret out quality RB's and get them to preform well enough to keep the passing game open for Brees.

I don't totally disagree with you though.

Yup. I have zero doubt as well that the Saints will get into the 2nd round.

maybe you werent paying attention when he averaged less then 10 carries a game

i love kamara too, but the realistic facts are he will want too much money next year and we wound keep him any way so trade him now and you definitely get a 1st round pick and maybe a 3rd or 4th rounder to go along with that.

he is talented enough to warrant such value from other teams needing a running back yet for us we can do just fine without him
