Saints Team To Watch In Potential Trade For Cowboys G Ronald Leary

[RS12]

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Saints have pursued a trade for Cowboys G Ronald Leary for the past few months.

The Cowboys are clearly in the market for a backup quarterback and some have said that Leary could be used as a trade chip to net them a quarterback. However, Rapoport doesn’t specifically say the Saints would make one of their backup quarterbacks available in a trade for Leary.

Leary elected to skip the Cowboys’ voluntary OTAs in the hope of facilitating a trade. However, the Cowboys made it clear that they weren’t giving him away and Leary later attended the team’s mandatory three-day minicamp.

what would the saints have that we would want? They have the same defensive issues we have.

It would have to be for a backup QB, maybe a pick. Who knows.

IF they want to send us a 2 then we are in business.

They have no players that are backups that are any good we could use. It would be a huge lose lose situation for Dallas.

we would essentially be improving the saints running game while weakening our roster? That makes no sense unless they gave up a premium draft pick like a 1 or 2

Cameron Jordan

there is less than a zero percent chance of that.

Getting Cameron Jordan for Leary would be heavenly. However, I don't think Saints are offering that. I'm thinking it would be for the other McCown (Luke).

Throw in a pick to sweeten the deal.

i would still make them give me a 2 with luke mccown.

didn't they just resign him? There defense is average at best and very young and he is one of the bright spots.

For a guy that missed all of the offseason, Ronald Leary came back in outstanding shape physically. He has totally remade his body, shedding the extra weight he has carried in the past. Right now, Leary is running behind La’el Collins but there is no question he would be ready play if needed.

This is madness, backup QB is a non issue to me this year.we are going down with the ship if Romo goes down no matter the backup QB situation.

Truth be known, Leary is a better player right now than La'el Collins.

Some have said? You mean media types begging for clicks? Can't find anything to report on so you dial up the rumor mill? There are plenty of stories going on in the NFL now but I guess it's easy to sit in a chair and make up rumors.

That's what I've been reading and hearing too!

Truth be known, Leary is a better player right now than La'el Collins.

Oh please, how would you know that?

 

[erod]

Oh please, how would you know that?

He was last year. He is so far in camp this year.

Collins has those amazing pancake plays that we all see. He's also very iffy in pass protection, and has a ton to learn.

Leary is simply a more well-rounded player at this point. HOWEVER, Leary is about to be a free agent, and the Cowboys control Collins for a few years.

For Leary, his contract makes it so you can't get much for him. Collins could bring a big time player to Dallas because the other team would have Collins already under contract for a few years.

Backup QB is a position you address with a FA signing or trading a 6th round pick. I would not use our best trade chip on a backup QB. Now if you're telling me we would be getting a starting caliber DE or MLB then I'm all for it.

Don't trust those LSU products! Peterson is the exception...

Leary is not a great trade chip because he's going to be a free agent this offseason.

I wouldn't mind Dallas extending Leary with a three-year deal and trading Collins for a big time player, which he could fetch at his age and contract status.
