I hope.
It as pretty obvious to anyone that really followed the Saints that it was almost a 100% deal that RB was gone. Of course the Saints would say all the right things about how they want him back, yada, yada yada..Kinda like how politicians say things to calm stupid people.
But at the end of the day it just made sense. It actually would have been a smart move to even trade RB for nothing. Due to trading him instead of cutting him, I believe we save a lot more room on the cap. I think this is correct.
The thing about Reggie is he doesn't fill any NEED on your team. This is a problem. If the fins think they can cut Ronnie Brown and go with their first round pick and RB at running back they are in for a surprise. They still will need another running back.
Great move by Loomis. I'm hoping we scored a lot more than we think on this trade.. We did trade him pretty fast, this makes me believe that the fins might have offered a higher pick that we expect. Then again we might have jumped at the opportunity to just trade him for anything considering how much it saves us on the cap- it bails us out.
