Potential trades

Packers trade Preston Smith to the Steelers per Schefter.

Does he play Sunday or we wait until Eagles game?

apparently its unlikely due to cap implications that they move him:

Nah, staying on a team who just fired their coach midseason is a riot. Just think us last year when we fired Jack Del Rio. It is the ultimate worst case scenario, especially for a guy who has been stuck there for years with no hope to get out. He should be estatic! Worst to first And you get paid a ton. Man, I wish!

Oh, I was thinking about the fact that Lattimore was willing to restructure his contract to make this trade possible. Although you made a great point, Saints is in a bad place now and I imagine some players want to get out of there.

Steelers is going all in, they also traded for Mike Williams. It will be interesting to see how far they will go into the playoffs.

Marshon Lattimore info:

6'0" 192 lbs ; 28 years old
1st rounder Ohio St
2017 AP defensive rookie of the year
4 time pro bowler
15 passes picked in 97 career games

We HAD to upgrade our secondary this year, especially corners if we're truly going to compete this year. Lattimore is the best move to do this. Like the move a lot.

Looks like with all the Wide receivers Pittsburgh is signing, we might need to trade for Newsome too.

Lattimore seems like he is probably hitting the downside of his career. He's missed a lot of games the last few years. I was listening to Grant and Danny and they mentioned that out of the last 60 games he's missed 20, so by my count that's 1/3 of the games played the last few years, plus he makes a ton of money.

On the flip side he fills an obvious need for the next couple of years and is easily the best corner we have.

In Peters we trust and all great GM's at some point take risks. Every move he's made has been pretty damn good. Plus Lattimore has to be happy as hell getting out of New Orleans. This is what the top teams do, try and upgrade mid season. Hard to think it but we are now that type of team.

Yeah, I have the same concern regarding his reliability. I hope Lattimore is now more motivated to play, which will naturally enable him to play through injuries whenever possible. Nonetheless, just like you, I think this is a risk worthwhile for us to take.

Lattimore has given up all of 1TD in his last 50 games played covering teams #1 WRs . . . this year opponents have a QB Rating of 76 when attempting to pass his way. He is by far our #1 corner, and only 28 years old. yes, health has been a concern, but he seems healthy so far this year!

This can help us a LOT!! Not only will it help us shore up the secondary, but will allow us to put more men in the box to slow the run game down instead of having two deep safeties on every play. Hopefully he can get up to speed quickly!!! I like this move quite a bit! Not just a 1 year rental either, two more years after this year under contract at $18 mill cap hits . . . not bad for a #1 corner in today's NFL!!
