Saints Selling their Soul for Dorsey

A Pete Prisco article this morning has probably left Saints fans a bit shell shocked. In it, Prisco claims that New Orleans is so desperate to move up and grab Dorsey, that they are shopping left tackle Jammal Brown. A 2006 Pro Bowler, Jammal Brown is largely considered to be one of the premier tackles in the game today at only 27 years of age. Prisco notes that Jammal's production "dropped off" in 2007, a fact not supported by Drew Brees' sack rate of 1 per 40 pass attempts--far and away the best in the NFL. If Saints management makes this move, they better be prepared to declare marshal law in New Orleans.

What, you may be wondering, does all this have to do with Denver? As I noted last week, a New Orleans deal for Glenn Dorsey leaves Cincinnati as the only possible roadblock to a deal for Sedrick Ellis. If the Saints move up, don't be surprised to see Denver trade up with the Bengals, Ravens, or Patriots.
