Saints trade Rashid Shaheed confirmed

For each the fans who person been wondering who the New Orleans Saints volition commercialized betwixt Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, we yet person an answer; it's Shaheed.

Olave and Shaheed person been mentioned much often successful commercialized rumors than immoderate different player. There's a beardown lawsuit for the Saints to see trading 1 of these 2 wide receivers, and there's ever been a consciousness that 1 of them has to go. The question is ever which one.

Olave's departure would nonstop a precise antithetic connection and person greater ramifications than trading Shaheed, but the determination was ne'er conscionable astir who was the amended receiver. It's a awesome of however the Saints privation to physique the team's future. Putting unneurotic caller reports, it's nary astonishment that Shaheed is present connected the exit list.

First option

The Buffalo Bills seemed similar the evident squad for Olave. When it came to teams that could travel aft the wide receiver, Buffalo was ever the first. And indeed, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the Bills reached retired to the Saints to cheque connected Olave's availability. That was rapidly denied due to the fact that Russini says Olave is expected to enactment wherever helium is.

Buffalo is simply a squad pushing for the Super Bowl and doesn't person an established apical wide receiver. The request for idiosyncratic similar Olave makes sense. It could beryllium a one-year indebtedness woody if necessary; oregon the Bills could connection a semipermanent woody if everything fits. Plus, Olave would springiness Josh Allen the enactment to perpetually dispersed the shot astir the field. That was the relation helium sought successful New Orleans. In Buffalo, that mightiness beryllium the relation they're readying for him.

But the Saints aren't giving up. Behind closed doors, Tyler Shough is astir apt thanking the coaches. Losing a apical receiver conscionable arsenic you're starting to get going tin beryllium a look for trouble.

Shaheed's price

The 3rd prime seems due done the lens of compensatory picks, which commencement astatine the extremity of the 3rd round. Seeking a 3rd prime provides amended worth than a compensatory pick.

Although Shaheed is much progressive successful the interior game, helium is simply a long-range passer. Any squad tin usage that relation if they don't already person one. That makes him charismatic to conscionable astir anyone. The adjacent question is whether the Saints volition clasp their terms and whether teams volition beryllium consenting to wage it.
