They might want a little more of a sweetener on the 26 picks apart swap. Maybe a second instead of the 3rd.
The backup plan for CB upgrade might have to be Marshawn Lattimore, who I think New Orleans will just outright release this coming offseason. They can't keep kicking the cap down the road and they've fiddled with his contract way too much already and they need a season to just eat dead cap and clear the decks like the Vikings did in 2024. Lattimore is 28 and will be going into his age 29 season in 2025 so you can get 2-3 years of high level play from him still (ie, the "window years" for Minnesota) before he starts becoming like Gillmore is now. I don't mind DJ Reed, but he's short and is more of a CB2 and Charvarious Ward's play has declined this year whereas Lattimore is still playing at a high level.
