Saints Expected To Trade Key Veterans Amid 1-4 Season Start

The New Orleans Saints are expected to act as sellers at the upcoming NFL trade deadline due to their poor 1-4 start under first-year head coach Kellen Moore. Several veteran players, including linebacker Pete Werner, running back Alvin Kamara, and wide receiver Chris Olave, have attracted trade interest from other teams. Werner, who has underperformed, could be traded to allow younger players more time, with the Baltimore Ravens among potential suitors seeking depth at linebacker. Kamara remains a notable asset but is unlikely to be traded due to contract considerations, while Olave and other veterans such as Demario Davis and Cameron Jordan might be moved to accumulate draft picks for a rebuild. The Saints' general manager Mickey Loomis is open to offers as the franchise looks to accelerate its rebuilding process amid low playoff prospects. Teams like the Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers, and Kansas City Chiefs have been mentioned as possible destinations for Saints players as the trade deadline approaches.
