You can trade any picks but compensatory picks I believe. The 29th would not be a compensatory pick.

I'm not; Darren Sproles didn't do jack shite last year.........I cursed him in the return game every week.

We are talking about a guy that had roughly 14/gm rushing......and on 4 tds including recieving......

He avg like 1 yard per punt return.

I am willing to bet that the front office did not want to send Sproles to Philly. They did it out of respect to him.

I wouldn't go that far. He still caught 71 balls last year. That's a very good fit for Kelly's offense.

Decent value was hoping for a 4th but will gladly accept a 5th.

5th makes sense. As a reference, we got a 4th last year for Ivory, and the Ravens got a 6th for Boldin. I wasn't expecting any team to give up too much for a potential 1 year rental, but anything is better than nothing.

Did they ever even mention who the Saints picked up?? My God that show sucked. I had it on only because I wanted to hear what they would say about the Saints picking up Byrd. But I hear them talk about how good the NFC South is with Tampa, Carolina and Atlanta............................................................................................... Oh and the saints are a good team too.

Talked more about Sproles with going to NE or the Jets and never mentioned Byrd.

Yeah, a 5th is pretty good for a guy with 1 year left on his contract.

@AdamSchefter: New Orleans acquired a 2014 fifth-round pick from Philadelphia in exchange for RB Darren Sproles.
