4 hypothetical trades New Orleans Saints fans should want to see
Odell Beckham Jr.
After a disappointing finish to the season and a missed playoff opportunity, the Browns were clearly not okay. They fired their first-year head coach and opted to retain many of their star players.
As for those players, unrest may set in if this team can’t find success. One player that may want out is Odell Beckham Jr. Odell is one of the league’s premier receivers, having totaled 1,000 yards in every season he’s played over five games in.
Beckham Jr. is on a five-year, $90 million contract. Over $60 million of that is guaranteed, and while last season was a down year, the entire Browns’ offense didn’t quite hit the mark in terms of production.
One of the quickest, most elusive receivers, Beckham Jr. will be on the market if the team struggles and someone offers the unthinkable. Multiple picks may be included as Cleveland gave up quite a bit of their future for him.
An Odell-Thomas duo would create the league’s best two-man receiving corps in the league. Add in Sanders, and they’d easily have the best receivers in the NFL.
Saints receive: Odell Beckham Jr.
Browns receive: 2021 second-round pick, 2022 fourth-round pick
These four players would all be welcome, and each would easily make the Saints the best team in the NFC.
