Rapoport: Saints talking about trading Malcom Brown (1 Viewer)

[Saint Spud]

Unfortunately, this makes sense. He’s one of the players likely to be a cap casualty, but he’s also on a pretty reasonable deal.

Our run defense will undoubtedly take a hit.

Alim McNeill in the 1st

It definitely did when he was out. But I’m guessing they believe there were other reasons for that and they feel good about the guys behind him.

The trimming of the fat starts... or at least the rumors start.

Ooh can we get a 3rd! 3 3rd round picks is considered good luck

Let’s trade Andrus Peat for a second rounder!

This is saddening to see that Malcom Brown is on the trading block. He is the biggest part of our run defense. It suffered last season when he was out. If he does get traded I hope we draft Alim McNeill.

We can't afford to keep our run D great.... but somehow we'll manage to pay "Grandmaster Choker" Sir Marcus Williams

Having a great run defense in the era of passing doesn't have the same oomph as it used to because 3rd and long is no longer the tall order it once was. We won the 2009 SB because of a special pass defense.

Apparently we didn't notice in his 3 game absence we gave up over 200 yards rushing a game. This will be a terrible move.

For Russell Wilson, straight up. Seems fair to me!

That run defense keeps those apposing offenses in third and long so that pass rush and get to the QB. Run Defense and Rushing Offense will ALWAYS be a premium its the basis for an effective defense or offense.

 

[Saint Droopy]

Malcolm Roach will have to step in/up.

 

[JvilleJoe]

I don't see us getting any higher than a 5th. I hope we don't lose him but a trade for anything is better than just cutting him to save cap if that was necessary.
