Saints acquire cornerback Bradley Roby in trade with Texans

So the Texans converted $7.6M of Roby's base salary into bonus... this will allow Roby to squeeze into the Saints' limited remaining cap space.

Assuming here that the Texans are improving their return by doing this. Have to wonder what Roby + $7.6M might fetch in return.

This is reminiscent to the days of the old draft trade value chart that helped equate pick values in making moves... need one now to assign a dollar value to each pick per round.

The New Orleans Saints completed their trade for cornerback Bradley Roby on Thursday, sending a 2022 third-round draft pick and a 2023 conditional sixth-round pick to the Houston Texans.

Seems like a great deal for us. Selling our cap space to a team trying to win seems like the best way we could use it.
