NOLA Saints should consider trading this former first-round pick (1 Viewer)

There are still some moves that need to be made prior to the 2021 regular season and one that the New Orleans Saints should consider making, at least according to Bleacher Report, is to trade Marcus Davenport.

Brad Gagnon wrote the article and had this to say about why he thinks the Saints should trade Davenport:

If Davenport can’t excel this summer, the Saints could give more reps to free-agent addition Tanoh Kpassagnon and first-round rookie Payton Turner, and they could in turn put Davenport on the trading block.
He’s unlikely to fetch them much because he’s now guaranteed $9.5 million in 2022, but a team acquiring Davenport would owe him $11.9 million total over the course of the next two seasons. That’s not outlandish if you believe you can get a talented 24-year-old on the right track.

This isn’t the worst idea, to be honest. It’s no secret that Davenport hasn’t been worthy of a first-round pick (or trading up to get him) and Saints fans wouldn’t be devastated to see him sent to another team.
