Jeff Duncan says, Saints are very interested in bidding for Xavien Howard.

I'll be honest... I'd trade Lattimore for him. The long term contract and my feelings towards paying Lattimore makes this an easy choice.


Lattimore & Howard is nice,tho
Then, Tag Lattimore next year.

The thing about Howard is this isn’t his first time taking to social media to air his grievances about his contract. Who’s to say he doesn’t do that a year or two into his time here?
If they sign him and intend to keep Latt and Williams that will be one expensive secondary!

I wouldn't want to lose Lattimore or Williams. But Ceedy will be due in a couple of years. What if Davenport balls out? That's another substantial contract. Then McCoy as well. Adding Howard sounds good, but if we have to let multiple players walk next year to fit his contract plus lose draft picks I would say no to it.
Indeed. The money has to come from somewhere, and Howard wants guaranteed money past his 30th birthday. I don’t know how smart it is to give a guy who hasn’t been on the team that kind of money after 30, but hey, I’m fine either way (it’s not my money).
