Saints trade G Ben Grubbs to KC for 5th round pick

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

hate to interrupt the circlejerk, but grubbs was awful last year

Lol.

@PriscoCBS: Chiefs actually traded for Ben Grubbs. Did they watch him last year?

This was an overpaid, under producing move. Not a cap hell move. He was going to be cut. Not sure why anyone would have traded for him.

 

i had heard he was going to be cut too

 

i mean if somebody wandered up to me and offered to pay me $10 for the broken TV i was about to throw out i'm not going to say no

[PanthersUnited]

I hope they trade Brees, I'm not scared whatsoever of the Saints stock piling draft picks. How did that work for the Rams since the RG3 trade?! Drew Brees and Jimmy Graham are first ballot HOFers, this draft doesn't appear to have those kind of players. fug em, let them stock pile draft picks, if it means nomore Brees or Graham twice a year I'm all for it. Besides, the extra 1st rounder they got was just the 31st pick anyway

Saints now have $9 million in dead money from trading Graham and $6 million from trading Grubbs.

oh god someone link the "salary cap is a myth" topic

Laugh all you want, your team is in cap hell and burning to the ground.

Exactly.

I was really happy with the signing after Nicks left. He never lived up to the hype. He was pretty terrible last year. I expect Collins at 13.

Taints had to clear out cap space to bring in RB CJ Spiller, who might now go to Dallas instead now that Murray is an Iggle

 

Maybe CB Brandon Browner instead now

All of this may be true. But trading an overpaid guard instead of cutting him and getting nothing for him has nothing to do with that.

Jimmy Graham.

 

The End...

Let me guess, Jimmy Graham is an overrated system tight end and that's why you traded him too?

[CarolinaNCSU]

Anyone who ever says the cap is a myth (still waiting for Ace Boogie to reply to me on that one), should watch what the Saints did last offseason...and now this one. They went all in, and manipulated the cap to get a guy like Byrd last year. And now? Welp, they're shipping out talent like Graham, cutting some of their only defensive talent, and now the OL that protects Bressus. Some pieces aren't that major, but they're still a sign of the cap at work.

No. Love Jimmy. He's going to be a monster in Seattle. Don't like the trade, but understand why it was made.
