Oh, the emotional rollercoaster...

First, it's 'Loomis better not be letting Sean go for cheap. Soft fool.'

Now it's, 'Loomis is demanding crazy way too much. Hardball fool.'

It's almost as if the only common denominator here is endlessly lambasting the organisation

 

[Saint Spud]

This is my concern. For all his good work over the years, Loomis has not shown a lot of prowess where trades are concerned. I would take their first this year and several other picks. Let's get something worthwhile out of it and not repeat the horror of the CJGJ debacle.

If we’re talking about Arizona, I don’t think there’s any world where Loomis is turning down the 3rd overall pick.

Triplett said his feeling from talking to people is that Loomis has something like a point value in mind.

And this is what we get

Hey. We are going to keep doing what we are doing alright

I’d rather the picks in the 2024 draft anyway .
I’m in full tank mode for 2023
Save our draft capital for 24

Are luck Goodell would strip us of picks for tanking

It would be neat if the Saints recouped the 2023 1st and the 2024 2nd. To me, that's the floor. Payton is worth more than that.

Yep, this is like buying a new car… I WILL NOT PAY A DOLLER OVER $500 a month!!

The Salesman says “man, we are riiiiiight there, let me go talk to my manager!! But in the mean time, you just sit here in the new car and check it out”

Now, the salesman and the manager are looking at you through the tented window as you rub the steering wheel, take a deep breath of that new car smell, imagining yourself driving down the road….

You roll out at $650…

This just sounds like basic negotiating. Start high and negotiate down to what you were really expecting to get in return.

If ML is asking 2 #1s that or a 2024#3 can be the compromise

 

[NewOrleansFan]

Az 2nd and 3rd this year plus 1st and 3rd next year seems fair.

I don't think there's a world in which the NFL would let any announcement happen before the AFC/NFC championship games anyway - that's where they want all the attention, all the shine, on those two games.

I think the floor for Loomis is 1,300 points, which is the value of the 10th overall pick. That is the pick we traded to the Eagles. He would take more, but I think that is the floor.

If he doesn’t have a better plan than capitulating to a bunch of us chuckleheads on a message board, we are truly ******

Like or not, chuckleheads like the ones on this board fund his salary.

There's a difference between being a stakeholder and an employer, though.
