King: Saints Paid Price For Mare

No Shawn I like King.

Still, colums are meant to be debated. That is why these guys 1) Have an opinion on everything 2) will present it matter of fact.

I am still shakey about he trade. When I thought Carney was going to retire I was fine with it. Now...I don't know. A six for any position does not seem over board and if we really want to recoup that sixth we could always bump back one of our 4s'.

The way I see it if Mare eliminates the need to have mutli-kickers than it was a good trade. If we sign Cundiff or Vandi mid season...we are out a 6th (Josh Lay/Mike Hass)

You essentially said the same thing as King, and I tend to agree with you. If Mare ends up being an 80% kicker, than I'm pretty happy. But it was a trade I had to sort of think about before I was on board with it.
