Lyons Yellin WWL-TV @LyonsYellin · 36m 36 minutes ago I'm told by a league source the #saints aren't done making moves just yet. They're still shopping players and another deal expected soon.

Any thoughts on who it could be? The first two that pop in my head are Bush and Evans, although I'm not sure how much value Bush has. Any dark horse candidates, since no one expected Graham and Stills to be traded two weeks ago?

In all seriousness, i think Vacarro, Bush and Evans are the more likely candidates for trade.

It would be Bush or Evans more than likely. Nobody else left on O, and Safety is the only spot we can afford to trade someone on D. If we traded a DL, we would have way too many holes to fill up in the draft. Would think 2nd or 3rd for Evans and 4th or 5th for Bush.

Would be hilarious. Another waste of a early round DB pick.

I believe that's wishful thinking.....Evans has a big contract cap hit on top of under performing and injuries the last 2 years despite his pro bowl nod......I think we would be very lucky to get a 4th, but more likely 5th or 6th......Bush would probably also be a 5th I think

Evans, Bush, and Watson are the only ones that save meaningful money in a trade and I doubt Watson has trade value.

Vaccaro would cost cap so unless we definitely trade Evans first I don't see it.

Got to be Evans. Most probably barking at a pay cut and the team doesn't want to extend. The only player left on the team, other than Brees, who can create considerable cap room.

What would we get for these guys though. Grubbs went for a 5th, maybe we'd get a 4th for Evans?

If Evans doesn't agree to a restructure to facilitate a trade, the value will be pretty low or even zero.

If that happened it would pretty much confirm this has all been about performance and the locker room as opposed to cap issues.

I could see the saints trading him while his value is still high if they don't see as much potential anymore.

He was disappointing last year but due to the season before some teams may still see him as an elite safety prospect. If the Saints don't, then they may sell due to value.

Too bad KV didn't play for Oregon.

If I had to guess, a 4th for Evans and a 6th for Bush. Bush wasn't in too high of demand last year as a RFA, and he's coming off of an injury, so I don't see him having much value at all. Maybe a team that is desperate for a Guard could give a 3rd for Evans., but I would be surprised with anything over a 4th.

If we get rid of Evans, I'd imagine we draft OL first and still shoot for another veteran guard. I don't think we have anyone else capable at this point.

The Graham and Stills trades weren't about cap, they were about performance, attitude and returned value.

Now Grubbs from all indications was about saving money, tho performance is definitely a factor as well.
