We'll handle that shortly. Got a small unexpected hurdle to jump through. Will keep everyone posted about the dates. Also figured that we give some breathing room for the new members to get their feet wet. And I personally thought that running the audits this season was a necessity before we moved onto the RFA and FA.
Best case scenario as well since it could've been the 6 (2). True that on the latter.
That's fair. Shelton's demeanor can be somewhat off-putting and I'm a firm believer in interior pressure, and Rankins presence did allow Jordan to switch from RE and LE seamlessly. Fortunately, I do have Ayers to aid in that respect. And as you've said, Shelton was key contributor in the defensive turnaround for Cleveland when it came to the running game, which was a concern for the Saints. My chief drawback at this juncture is honestly in the 4 Stars that I lost in the trade itself. But at least it'll allow some cushion next season once the dead money begins to dwindle down. And this draft selections made it easier to swallow.
There will be other run stuffer(s) on the team, Rankins' rush ability, versatility and brains were worth it for me.
I really like him but that was the only way to smooth over the fact the Saints are paying 4 stars to trade him to me + Shelton's salary.
Who are the 4 teams that backed out?
Colts are active, though, as Purplepitta himself contacted me for the Avril trade.
You've got it. Good catch.
