Even if so, trading guys like Stills is very odd. He's young productive, and minimum salary for two more years. Though there's some value in getting a draft pick for him, he's pretty much what they are looking for, not what you'd imagine they are trying to get rid of.
I guess if they plan to deal Brees they may figure Stills' value will never be better, as his numbers might drop. But boy---it's really a full rebuild at that point.
A couple of days ago I asked you to add content and not just post one liners. I see you haven't taken my advice so why don't you take a brief vacation from here. And when you come back. add content.MillarTime said:

Saints reached agreement with former Bills RB CJ Spiller. Saints backfield getting crowded: Spiller, Mark Ingram, Khiry Robinson.

Dolphins will get WR Kenny Stills, Saints get LB Dannell Ellerbe and Miami's third-rounder, per source.

I'm guessing it's a 3rd; perhaps with a contingent for an upgrade for higher? I'd love if it was a '16 pick. The Fins need every pick they have to add talent/depth.
Does Stills replace Wallace this year or next? I think next year. With Wallace, Stills, Landry, and Matthews, this frees up Miami to go with defense in Round 1.

Unloading Ellerbe's contract makes a lot of sense for Miami.
Another good move for them.

Khiry Robinson may be the best out of that bunch. I don't understand why Saints would ever trade for Ellerbe.
Tanking is ON.

They accelerate his remaining bonus immediately, and since he wasn't owned any guaranteed salary beyond this year they didn't benefit at all salary-wise.

The #Dolphins trading for Kenny Stills was first reported by @Rand_Getlin. It also means the #Saints are not done just yet.

That move makes no sense.
Stills cap hit $633,613
Ellerbe (missed 99% of last season) cap hit $8.4 million this year $6.45 next (is that correct?)

At this point why hang on to Brees? I know he's god-like in NO and they've been public about keeping him but they're going to be 6-10 at this rate.
Just don't trade him to the Jets or the Bills. That's all I ask.
MT @AdamHBeasley: A source told me that Brees was not happy w/either Ben Grubbs or Kenny Stills. No coincidence that they're both gone.
Corsi said:
You have to think they'll be trading Sproles now. Those two players play the same role. After losing Helu, would Pats be in play for Sproles?

Maybe you were thinking of Pierre Thomas? The Saints let him go a couple of days ago. I would think the Patriots could be looking at Thomas if Reggie Bush doesn't happen. Not much chatter about Thomas -- just that the Ravens were interested in him, but I'm not sure if they still are now that they re-signed Forsett.
Chandler is a nice asset in the red zone, though he can get the dropsies, but he strikes me as a lumbering type of guy -- not exactly a guy you can rely on when the offense is in the mode where it's trying to get the ball out of Brady's hands in under 2 seconds. My impression is that he's an average blocker too. Certainly an upgrade of Hooman, but doesn't strike me as a huge team need. With Gronk's history, I'm sure the Patriots felt like they were playing without a net at times last year without a true number 1 to plug in if Gronk had to miss a game. This probably makes Wright a nice change of pace play as the number 3 TE, since he's a lot different from Chandler.
I'm pretty "meh" about the possibility of Chandler. I hope he's not too expensive if the Patriots do end up with him.
Edit: Welp, I'm 15 minutes behind. I guess I better learn to love it.

Line for the ages. Guarantees two of the three of him, Donald and Brockers are on the field.Phragle said:

This is the worst trade I can remember in recent memory. The Saints are putting together one of the worst offseasons I can remember on top of their dreadful offseason last year. Still should have gotten a second rounder on his own, maybe a bit more, and they gave us significant positive value in exchange for getting Ellerbe back, who was going to get cut anyway and could have been signed for much cheaper. It's maybe the strangest offseason for an NFL franchise I can remember, in terms of football transactions.
With good QB play, an if, Miami could be up there near the top of the AFC.

Meanwhile, new #Saints LB Dannell Ellerbe has agreed to restructure his contract after his trade from Miami. Will help NO cap situation

I'm really glad the Patriots seem to be at the forefront when it comes to allocating limited resources to the backfield. Can't help but chuckle at these teams dishing out cash for multiple veteran RBs when you can find guys all over the draft board or off the scrap heap who represent much better value as long as you have a line that can block for them.

The #Saints deal with CJ Spiller is a 4-year deal, I’m told. Not a short-term investment (@AdamSchefter first had him signing).

If Darren McFadden runs for 1400 yards next year, I sort of think maybe teams are going to start to get the message that maybe line and scheme have a lot to do with it in 2015.
He certainly jumped about 20 pegs on my 2015 fantasy football depth chart.

I'll go ahead and predict right now that Reggie Bush will have more total yards (and a lower salary) than Shane Vereen next year.
Jaguars sign "WR"/PR Bryan Walters from Seattle. Why they feel the need to pick up a guy whose best attribute is making a fair catch is beyond me, even at vet minimum (and this probably isn't).

Since it's a game thread . . . .
If he signs, he would be the sixth Heisman trophy winner to play for the organization. Can you name the other 5?

ITEMS: Reggie Bush has visited Pats as @FieldYates reported. Scott Chandler still has to meet with team b4 done. Pats not in on E Mathis.

Would think the Pats come away with one of Reggie Bush/Percy Harvin. Definite interest in both.
