The New Orleans Saints have had trade conversations about potentially dealing defensive tackle Malcom Brown, according to sources. In the third year of a three-year, $15 million contract, a trade or release would save the Saints around $5 million against the 2021 salary cap. Brown has appeared in 29 games with the Saints in his first two seasons, recording 61 tackles (nine for loss), three sacks and one fumble recovery. New Orleans currently has the worst salary cap situation in the league, with Over The Cap pegging the Saints at $69.5 million over a projected cap of $180.5 million. Trading Brown would free up a small portion of the total but would create a hole at a position that will likely be without Sheldon Rankins, who is set to enter free agency, in 2021.
