Armstead for Odell , Would you ? (1 Viewer)

[TooDopeGoldRope]

Love him. Love him to death. Health has been a redundant issue , and that won't get better with time.
We're reportedly willing to let him walk for nothing 2022. He will get money elsewhere , why end up high and dry about it though ?

Sign and trade on both ends.
Browns LT just went down as well. He's nowhere near Armstead's caliber of player.

At the right price point Odell could be the shot in the arm this offense needs. With Michel Thomas back , he'd get the 2 CB in matchups and I'm picking on whoever is covering Odell.
And if that isn't enticing enough Callaway will be lined up with a CB 3 whom he will abuse routinely. It makes everyone's job a bit easier IMO.

We need guys who can beat man , and coverage. He's Dynamic , he's fast , hes another guy that Jameis can't overthrow and makes plays.

We've got a team down the road with 3 No.1 receivers and arguably the greatest TE ever in Tampa.

Callaway and Deonte were only going to get us but so far. We've spent long enough making due with what we have , if the opportunity presents itself for us to actually load up tilt the table in our favor , we should take advantage.

We are shorter on OL than WR's.

Giving Jameis another target, but less time to throw isn't a net gain IMO.

And oft-injured player who will probably retire in the next 1-2 years for a locker-room cancer....why not?

I'd happily give up Ryquell Armstead from our PS for Odell. Would be a solid trade for both teams.

Throckmorton has been doing his thing. He's a better Left Tackle than Peat is a guard ...

HELL no! Nagging injuries or not, Armstead is a top flight LT who works his rear off, sets an example for teammates, and is seemingly universally liked and respected.

Beckham has proven time and again that it’s mostly about him. He, too, has had injury troubles, mind you. Lastly, tying up the cap with two huge WR contracts is very bad business.

Invest in the lines and keep winning!

It indeed is a valid question. I'm sure that u were being sarcastic, but.... it makes u wonder would we do it. MT would just slap OBJ silly if we needed him to do so. Or sic CGJ on him (or both of them LOL).

Don't want Odell or any diva in a Saints uniform. It's a shame that he's such a diva and so often injured, what a super talent!

James Hurst has been filling in at LT, not Throckmorton.

You can more easily deal with an iffy WR corp than OL. The OL makes everything work on offense. Armstead is one of our 2 best OLinemen, even considering that he has frequent injuries.

So, no thank you.

I'm not sure how I feel about our line minus TStead. If I felt like I could field a solid unit in his absence, I'd sure have to see how the money worked out...

 

[saint_drago]

Odell from back in his first three seasons when he was an absolute game changer? Probably. But Odell hasn't been that guy in years. He'll never be that guy again.

If we were going to trade Armstead I'm sure we could do better.

 

[BayouSAINTJoe]

Next year's third....I'd do that in a heartbeat.
