4 trade ideas that make sense for the Saints before roster cuts

The next wave of NFL roster cuts is nearly here, and the final cut-down date is just a week away. But there’s still time for the New Orleans Saints to either improve their team or add to their list of future draft picks while getting some value out of players on the bubble. If you know a player isn’t going to make it, or if they won’t play much this year, maybe try to get something for them instead of nothing.

Before we get too deep into the weeds here: I’m a firm believer that the Saints should be sellers, not buyers, considering the state of their roster. It’s worth more to me to keep guys like Tanoh Kpassagnon and Latavius Murray around as inactives on game day in case you need the depth later in the season once injuries inevitably strike. But I’ve got to admit that the New Orleans is thin enough at enough spots on their depth chart to justify chasing an addition — at the right price.
