Mr. Grier please call Saints GM Loomis and see if they would be interested in trading OC Erik McCoy to the Dolphins for some of our assets. They're in Salary Cap Hell and McCoy is a UFA next year. I would trade

Solomon Kindley (doesn't fit our blocking scheme) and Michael Deiter (needs change of scenery) and Myles Gaskins (temporary replacement for Kamara) and a seventh round pick and eat the $612,000 Dead Cap for the Saints. If the Saints agree I would lock up Erik McCoy like the Florida Panthers did with Matthew Tkachuk. Just a suggestion. What do you all think?​

Ya never going to happen. Scraps for a young good OL. Cap hell is overblown in the NFL. Nothing like the NHL were all contracts are 100% guaranteed. Restructure and cuts and then poof no more cap hell.
 
That could be a realistic in-season trade if their season is going horribly.

Keep in mind they traded away their 2023 first rounder, so assets might be needed if Winston’s turning the ball the over and they aren’t winning.

Honestly, if things are going bad in New Orleans they could look into a complete fire sale.

The Alvin Kamara situation really, really doesn’t help their immediate outlook. Really the best thing they have going for them is that Atlanta and Carolina are depleted of talent.

Here’s an interesting blurb from Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com:

“The Browns are very high on 2020 fifth-round pick Nick Harris, and expect a seamless transition at center. The only way I see Tretter coming back is if Harris suffers a season-ending injury. But Tretter is still one of the best centers in the NFL and should find work somewhere this season. Perhaps his hard-line stance against the offseason program didn’t help him with some teams.”

I’m guessing that last sentence was a big deal breaker (if ever one was even considered) for this coach as his practices have been mentioned as being tougher than BF’s.

Yes, and while indulging in some salacious fantasy dreaming, maybe Chris Grier can get Patrick Mahomes as a backup QB for just a 2023 6th round Draft pick. Get real Pompy. Your suggestion ain't happening. McCoy is a high quality OC.

If not mistaken Cesar Ruiz is the backup ( a plus )
Gaskin no slouch, is he top shelf, no so additions must be made (Draft pick )

Button line is opportunities will opening up and Grier will get back to you as soon as he finishes his class on the importants of a C and a RT for a solid OL...(hopefully).

Nice to see some interesting thought instead of boring lack of any insight drivel...Want a good young center much like Tkachuk we have to pay.... but IMO worth it (McCoy 24 rs old and going into his prime)

Oh and congratulations Florida Panthers
