N/S WR James Washington requests trade (1 Viewer)

[Tacoes]

Bad trade. Just when Baun is starting to come on in practice and we have him on a rookie deal for two more years after this year. Contract year for Washington. We aren't all in this year. Keep Baun unless you're getting a player in return that has two years left on their rookie contract.

I like the development of Baun in camp but when will he see the field? With the signing of Kwon and drafting Pete does that hurt his chance of seeing the field? I'd rather give up a player then draft capital and the saints have depth at Lber at the moment.

Do you really trust Kwon to stay healthy all year? I mean I am hoping he does but gotta be realistic. And who knows what Pete is all about yet. I think we need the depth. Also, I am not saying we don't need a WR but I would stay patient till all the cuts are made around the league.

What about kicking the tires in Ricky Jerret? He had a decent season in Miami.

I'm not sure Washington makes it to cuts. They spent a 2nd on him and the Steelers are a team who builds through the draft so they'd probably take the best pick offer for him before cutting him.

Also, I would go out on a limb and say he's probably the best WR out there who is currently 4th-6th on their respective team.

SP rarely ever addresses the WR position. He finally did last year with the addition of sanders. And look how well he helped us throughout the season.

we can’t rely on TQS being our #1… literally our #1 is TQS. That hurts to say

I would look to have Werner learn the SAM or MIKE position this year. Not sold on Ellis or Hansen. This way, we can have Baun continue to learn WILL and provide depth behind Kwon. I think it’s common knowledge that Werner will eventually take over the MIKE after DD. So, why even train him at WILL when we already have another draft pick there? Seems a little redundant and unnecessary. Yeah, I get that we rarely use a SAM, but with Kwon back, now we have three WILL LBs and 2 SAM. 1 seems likely to make the roster. And SP knew all along that he was going to sign Kwon depending on how he progressed with his injury. Kwon has shown improvement for awhile now. SP had already stated that he was watching Kwon’s videos. Plus, TC started a week ago, so they could’ve changed the Werner plan. If he is as good as they think he is, then he should be able to learn the MIKE or SAM pretty easily. With that being said…..who the heck is our backup MIKE? Do we even have one as of right now?

Kwon is still coming off a serious injury, is on a 1 year contract, and has only played more than 12 games once in six years. Pete just got here. Who’s to say he would start over Baun?

Geez, the way you're describing Kwon it sounds like a bad signing.
But for what it's worth, Kwon says he's completely healthy which is awesome.

"

Pete has already established himself in the film room, something we've never heard about with Baun. Before Kwon was signed Underhill even pictured Pete seeing the field over Baun unless he made some serious strides. Do you happen to listen to Underhill's pod?

Plus there's other promising LBers making noise in camp.



Unless there's a decent WR that's cut when roster trim downs happen, I feel trading for Washington would be a good asset for the Saints.

I am not against trading for him but I don't want Baun involved in the trade. Thats what I am saying

I was referring to league wide cuts not just Washington

Historically, Pittsburgh has always had a great depth of receivers going back to the late 70's. James is a good player on team stacked at the WR position.

I'd be curious to see what Pitt would accept in a trade for him if he truly wants out.

Ideal landing spots and trade value for Steelers wide receiver James Washington

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington, a 2018 second-round draft pick, has dropped down the depth chart and been overshadowed as a receiving option by Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool in recent seasons.

I think similar compensation to what the Bears got for Miller would be about right, but sending a backup lineman would be even better.

Miller and a seventh round pick was traded to Houston for a fifth round pick.

Miller was drafted by the Bears in the second round, 51st overall in 2018. He was the sixth wide receiver to be selected that year. In three seasons he has 134 receptions for 1564 yards and 11 TD's. He is 5' 11" 201 lbs. He ran a 4.38 40 at the combine.

Here's the compensation Bears received from Texans in trading WR Anthony Miller

The Bears and Texans swapped late-round draft picks as Chicago sends WR Anthony Miller to Houston. Here’s what the Bears got in the trade.

bearswire.usatoday.com

I think a fifth round pick straight up would be about right and, given our situation at WR, it might be necessary to get him. You have to figure that most teams think the Texans will be picking before the Saints in 2022. A sixth rounder might not cut it.

I do agree that there will likely be other WR's available in the next couple of weeks, but we need one sooner to start learning the playbook.

People may not realize that James Washington led the Steelers in receiving yards in 2019.

Chase Claypool and Diontae Johnson are just that good -- and JuJu owns the slot.

 

[RaisingTheBar]

Saints should be looking into this. Would be a good pickup.

With 735 yards.
