Lattimore still hasn't said he wants out. He liked a tweet which he clearly realized was a bad idea and that's why he took it down. If he wanted out or wanted to force his way out, he would have just left it up there.
As far as Allen, all that really matters is winning. If he can win games, get in the the playoffs, and become a contender in a few years losing players you want to keep won't be a problem. Winning cures everything. I don't tend to think Allen can do that, but at least he finally made a change on offense and if that change works out they could be ready to make a move up if they can draft better for the next few years. Or, it all falls apart and we start over which probably also leads to trading Lattimore.
But, if the Saints can get an offer of a 2nd for Lattimore after June 1, they probably should take it because it helps the cap and would give them another top 100 pick in the draft which they need to build the talent base. Lattimore is a guy you need if you are a real contender and this team isn't that and probably won't be that for 2 or 3 more years. By then Lattimore will be on the downhill side. Plus the defense played fine without him last year and they added Kool-Aid to the mix. Hopefully Kool-Aid can play the Slot and then you can have Adebo and Taylor on the outside. It's a bit of a down grade in talent but it's probably more than good enough at this point.
I'd keep him if it's anything less than that and then see where we are at the trade deadline this year.
