Are you happy with what Loomis got for Sean? (1 Viewer)

[Maik Jeaunz]

It’s crappy, but at least it’s over.

 

[Semper]

Pole should be public so we can shame those who say, "yes".

I said yes! But I raised 3 daughters so good luck trying to make me feel anything.

 

[LordPoopington]

Yes, it's fine. I'd have preferred the other of the two reported deals that we had to choose from but it's splitting hairs at that point.

"It's fine" should be a third option in this poll between "happy" and "unhappy."

 

[LordPoopington]

Loomis got way more for Sean than the Jets did for Herm Edwards or the Cardinals did for Bruce Arians, so I'm pretty pleased both with the compensation and where he ended up. Anyone thinking they were going to get a haul like the Raiders got for Gruden was delusional.

This is the same board where at least a decent number of people think we could've gotten a 1st-3rd round pick for Chauncey based on his first three seasons in the league, so yeah, they tend to have unreasonable expectations for trades around here.

Depends on which “it’s fine” it is.
If it’s a woman’s version of “it’s fine” it ain’t fine.

Should have gotten 2 1st rounders.

Uh...we should've gotten better than a 5th

I don’t care if we would’ve gotten a top 10 pick. The only way I would’ve been happy is if this ordeal never happened and he was still coaching the Saints. It’s officially the end of the greatest Saints era.

Mickey Loomis isn’t Howie Roseman, so I don’t expect us to get back to that type of greatness any time soon.

I think we should've gotten a serviceable OL since the trade happened after Penning's injury and OL was a clear area of need. But there were definitely comments on this board where people said we should've gotten a 1st or 2nd for him, which was never going to happen (tell me any time in history a team has gotten a 1st or a 2nd round pick for a player who'd never made a single pro bowl, even in an era where lots more players make pro bowls b/c so many players back out of them).

 

[No2DC]

I'm not mad but I still don't understand why we had to give up a 3rd.

 

[cwesleyc]

I only wish we had gotten enough to get one of the top 3 or 4 quarterbacks this year, but that wasn't in the cards (pun intended).

 

[srcampbell]

I love it! Loomis has redeemed himself.

 

[TenTwo]

Ugh. This deal did not meet my “what if we traded to Denver” expectations. I needed at least two firsts if the first one was 29. And no way could we have given up a 3rd in the deal.

I’m glad it’s over but once again I think Loomis got worked.

 

[Trey W.]

I would have rather had Sean back as our HC but I’m at least happy we have a 1st round pick this year. I just hope Loomis doesn’t burn a lot of our draft picks trading up again. We have a bunch of holes to fill and need the cheap contracts

 

[VPCajun]

Curious: does the fact that SP was under contract for TWO MORE YEARS affect his value for this trade?

Seems like it should and thus should have been higher picks involved.

[sigh]
