Saints Linked to Potential Trade for $9 Million Star
The New Orleans Saints might emerge as an unexpected contender in the race for a trade involving Breece Hall. Although the Saints’ offseason hasn’t been stellar so far, there’s still time to make a significant move. With nearly $30 million freed up after Derek Carr’s retirement and the draft assets to pull off a big trade, they could be poised for a blockbuster deal.
Trading for a player is still a real possibility, especially given the team’s current roster gaps. The Saints could capitalize on the opportunity to bring in a talented young player.
Anthony Palacios from Last Word on Sports recently suggested that the Saints could be a potential destination for New York Jets running back Breece Hall if the Jets decide to trade him this season.
“Given the Saints’ situation without a solid quarterback following Derek Carr’s retirement, they’ll likely rely on their run game and defense,” Palacios wrote. “Alvin Kamara remains one of the league’s top running backs, but he’s aging, and even with the signing of Cam Akers, they need someone to eventually take over when Kamara retires. While Hall wouldn’t start immediately, he would be a stronger option than Akers.”
Trading Hall makes sense for the Jets, especially considering he could soon be a free agent, and New York has two capable running backs ready to step in.
For the Saints, Hall could serve as the future replacement for Kamara. As Kamara gets older, adding Hall would provide a much-needed secondary back to ease the load on Kamara’s shoulders and provide a dynamic duo in the backfield. Pairing Hall and Kamara would give the Saints one of the most formidable running back combinations in the league.
