I think Hoodoomanawanui did the Pats game threads so I like the move. Fills a void.

Only thing is that we traded for a blocking guy when our red zone O blows!

Just wait until we come out with 3 TEs and Peat as an eligible tackle. Ingram's gonna get at least 3 yards out of that.

"Saints have another DL we can pillage that's being under coached by bill Johnson"

"Sweet let's get him. What's the shittiest thing we can offer?"

"We got that TE, I can't pronounce his fricking name, average blocker, total non factor in the passing game."

Upside: Let's all get excited for 72 "Remind me again why we traded Akiem Hicks again?" threads on game day.

I really can not sugar coat it. This is a terrible trade. Did Mickey not even try to work a phone? 31 other teams and no one had any interest? Hoomanawanui was the best offer on the table?

Can't wait. Really.

Let's keep in mind that Hicks and CSP had a falling out.
This is how Payton deals with players that bug him?
Basically cut them?
Not a good strategy.

This may not be about hicks

I really think they want to give someone like tyeler davidson some snaps. This removes a roadblock for that and hicks might have been on his way to being benched with his play.

We need something in the middle and Hicks has given us next to nothing lately.

Yea sean is just cutting it off here with some compensation. Has anyone discussed Hoomanawanui's contract? How much is he making? Are we saving money by trading Hicks for him? There's no way we used the Brees cap space here right?

He must have really wanted to get rid of Hicks.
Both of these players are at the end of their contracts.

Why the Saints couldn't wait until the end of the year to let go of Hicks, I have no idea.
