Saints trade for CB Eli Apple

[11thEagleFan]

He’s a good player with a bad attitude. Would have been more excited about this trade if Patrick Peterson didn’t want to come to New Orleans. I’m guessing Arizona wanted too much for him.

Not bad

PFF rates him as good

He'll be our number 2, so I think we really upgraded.

Definitely an upgrade at the #2 corner position. Went from a guy who is serviceable, but sometimes gets burned, to a “good” #2 corner. I’m only disappointed because if Patrick Peterson comes over, the Saints suddenly have the best secondary in the NFL. Still, the team is better than they were yesterday, and they were already good.

Could they have acquired Apple to use in a trade for Peterson?

Wow this is a great trade if Eli Apple can stay focused. Assuming he's got no beef with current players, a fresh start could be good for him.

I feel like Peterson probably didn't happen because the draft capital isn't available after sending their 2019 1st and 3rd rounders for Marcus Davenport and Teddy Bridgewater.

He was college teammates with Lattimore and Vonn Bell at Ohio State, so hopefully that only helps.
