N/S Lattimore hurt again.. (2 Viewers)

Previous Next
Really a fan of Lattimore. He was/maybe still is an incredible Corner. I fell victim to him always being hurt being related to his distain for the team and DA. This continuation of this injury makes me feel better about him because it shows he wasn’t making a business decision when it came to his health and being available to the team.

With all that said, the Saints made the right move to trade him with the stable of corners we have, his injury history, and the cap implications.

Saints don’t have a stable of corners

Well…. I’ll agree to disagree but Adebo, Taylor, and Kool-aid seems like a pretty good base to build around. There is only so much $$$ to go around. You can pay a Lattimore and not have $$$ for weaker positions. Called a business decision.

I don't think he was DA's biggest fan by any means but nothing I've ever seen him say in interviews or post on his IG suggested he didn't like the team or the Saints as an organization. Even when he was traded I got the impression that he would've been happy to stay based on his open letter and even the comment about "showing the Saints they shouldn't have traded me" (which isn't verbatim, maybe not even real but again something I saw online).

I think corner could be seen as a priority in the draft depending on what the prognosis is with Adebo and if we even re-sign him or not.

Unfortunately Adebo is a free agent. Maybe they can work out a deal with him given his injury, but I think he will want a short term deal hoping he can prove himself healthy and get a bigger contract after a year.

I think they will be looking for a CB in the draft even if he does come back due to his injury, Kool-Aid being unproven, and Taylor maybe being a better fit in the slot than outside.

But, moving on from Lattimore was the right move even if he ends up being healthy. We need to get younger and cheaper across the board.

I'm not sure corner will be a priority since we have options with Kool-Aid and Taylor. And we have a huge priority at both DE, DT, and WR, but if a really good CB falls to them in the first, I would not be surprised if they took him and I would expect one to be drafted in the first 3 rounds.
 
I guess our medical staff isn't the problem..

The guy will always be a Saint and he started the defensive celebrations we now see today. The only thing I didn't like was him saying he was going to show us why we shouldn't have traded him. I mean we did him a favor by sending him to a team that's contending and got a good young QB.

Too bad some players don't understand the value of taking the high road instead of the verbal bridge burning that so many decide to employ. If he can get healthy for the post season, he will get a shot at something he wouldn't get to experience as a Saint for quite a while... maybe even for the remainder of his career. You'd think he would at lease appreciate that side of the trade.
 
Will always have such fond memories of 2017 and how amazing Latt was right out the gate.

He was special and immediately brought our defense into contender territory.
