Today, a local radio station in New Orleans reported that the Saints are shopping Strong Side OLB,

 

Junior Gallette

62' 258 Lbs

27 Yrs old on March 27th, 2015

 

Gallette was recently in the news due to some domestic violence charge which has been subsequently been dismissed by the local police due to a lack of evidence

 

Junior Gallette is of interest because he had 10 sacks in 2014, and 12 sacks in 2013.

 

He is under contract through 2018 (4 years) and has a very favorable contract except for the 2015 season.

 

His 2015 salary is 12.5 Mil

His 2016 salary is 5.8 Mil

His 2017 salary is 6.5 Mil

His 2018 salary is 8.2 Mil

 

It should be noted that the Saints are 22 Mil OVER the 2015 Cap and the loss of Gallette would go along way to balancing the books.

 

The Saints want to trade him but due to their salary cap situation they may have to release him.

 

Given his contract and the Jags need for an Otto LB, Gallette could be an attractive option.

 

The Jags might be able to trade for him for a 4th or 5th Rd pick.

 

I think this is a player that can help the Jags.

 

Your thoughts?
