re: Saints trading CGJ to eagles for 5th and 6th round picks.

This was stupid if you didn't want to re sign him fine, but you could have got another year of service out of him rather then a 5/6 round pick.
Unless he was going to be a malcontent, this was a bad decision

I mean, I wouldn’t go that far. But CGJ was more important as a vocal presence (before this year) rather than as an important chess piece. But he wasn’t some scrub either. He was above average in coverage (not elite like Kenny Moore from the Colts) but he made some nice plays in the run game. I hope Alontae can come along quickly because I just don’t think Roby will do well in the slot

Both safety spots opened up and they went and signed guys to fill them. That’s pretty much them admitting they didn’t think he was up to the task.

---

I don't think the signings only indicate this. It seems that this pure safety talk is directly related to his contract demands. I imagine they didn't do due diligence in preparing themselves for the extension talks and signed 2 old safeties assuming CGJ would maintain his role

The eagles probably told the saints that they have to give him a next contract.

Anything less than a 4th is bad.

That sounds right.

It could be what the Saints wanted, a 4th.

The most you were ever going to get was a 3rd.

I hope they at least took a swing at that

Cool. There isn’t a single shred of evidence to suggest that CGJ is more valuable of a safety than Maye or Mathieu. Not one.

They chose not to give him a shot at safety, and not to overpay a slot corner.

If they’re gearing up to try and make a run in 2022/2023 and then rebuild, this is the right move.

CGJ is not in his final form yet and he's an agent of chaos that we have HEAVILY relied on the past 2 years

However, this is more than just the player. This is about cap management first and foremost. CGJ's value never tanks if we don't piss him off in contract talks. We can have rational contract talks if our cap isn't fricked up by moves chasing moves chasing moves.

Also, we literally dealt him at his lowest value point and that value cratering is directly related to our inability to offer him a contract. If trading him was inevitable, then we should have done it before the draft when his value would have been much higher.

Loomis with one foot out the door.

TM7 has the 5th best passer rating against for ALL. DBs the last three seasons.

quote:

---

Tyrann Mathieu played 1,127 snaps last season 555 of those came in the box, 308 at Free Safety, 241 in the slot, and 23 at Corner.

---

CJGJ has played 5% of his snaps at safety for a reason. To the eagles ya say, “good luck”

This is bs. If you think the defense is going to be elite this year, you’re in for a shock. The secondary, with lesser talent at safety and now at slot corner, is going to get torched. Loomis needs to be replaced, he has gotten this team in positions that force them to give away or let walk talented players on multiple occasions. And not at least getting something worthwhile in draft compensation for CGJ is unforgivable. Dennis Allen’s career as head coach of this team is going to be short lived. This board will be calling for his head by year two.

He's a better prospect than that but it is being overblown.
