NFL Trade Verdict

New Orleans Saints Win

Buffalo acquired Dave Long from New Orleans Saints for undisclosed draft pick (possibly 1975 #149-Mike Lemon). Buffalo spent draft capital for a player or rights asset. That can be justified by immediate roster need, but the default value curve favors the team receiving the pick unless the acquired player clearly changed Buffalo’s trajectory
