Lily, a 24-year-old waitress, had no idea that she was serving NFL superstar Daniel Jones. Polite and discreet, Daniel Jones enjoyed his meal without attracting attention. But when he left, he placed a folded receipt on the table… and walked out with a smile. Curious, Lily opened it, but just a few minutes later burst into tears. Daniel Jones’ post wasn’t just a thank you, Lily tearfully shared with reporters — It changed her life…
The Saints are amidst a complete rebuild. This has led to speculation about New Orleans trading their veteran players. One of the players who have received attention is Cameron Jordan.
Josh Weil at Pro Football Network proposed a trade that could be beneficial for both sides.
First off, losing Jordan would hurt on the field, but be devastating off it. He is a franchise legend and a community cornerstone. In addition, he is having an outstanding season, with 2.5 sacks and four tackles for loss. Trading him would be a tough decision, and likely one the Saints won’t make. However, every player has a price.
In this proposal, Jordan gets shipped off to the San Francisco 49ers and the Saints get a 2026 third-round pick. He would go to a championship contender and the Saints would get significant draft capital. It would make sense for both sides if New Orleans would be willing to move on.
The capital is great, but the trade is unlikely
Obtaining a third round pick for a 36 year old player is amazing value. Rebuilding wise, it’s a perfect trade. Weil makes some great points on why it would make sense. However, it still seems unlikely the Saints would pull the trigger.
“The Saints are committed to a rebuild, and Kellen Moore still has the boys playing hard, which you must respect.” Weil said, “Look for some veterans to leave New Orleans and for Moore to look to bring in guys who match more with the style he intends to play there.”
Jordan has clearly stated his desire to finish his career in the Big Easy. It’s unlikely the Saints would cross him and send him elsewhere. In addition, he’s still a big contributor defensively. Even if they get draft capital, it’s tough to see them moving on.
This trade would create some financial issues. Trading Jordan would net $17.5 million in dead money according to Over the Cap. This would put the Saints approximately $7.5 million over the salary cap this season. Nothing they couldn’t fix, but still an added complication.
This trade makes sense on paper. They ship off a veteran player and get some draft capital back. However, it’s still unlikely to happen. Cameron Jordan means too much to the team and community to trade, plus it would create some financial restrictions.
Flames Coach Addresses Unfortunate Filip Chytil's Puck-to-Head Moment
Vancouver Canucks forward Filip Chytil’s first goal of the season came in one of the strangest and most brutal sequences one could imagine.
The Canucks forward fired a shot that smashed Calgary Flames defenseman Kevin Bahl in the head, tracked the ricochet, and buried the rebound to double Vancouver’s lead in a 5–1 rout Thursday night at Rogers Arena.
The bizarre play unfolded just under three minutes into the third period. Chytil had just stepped out of the penalty box and skated into the slot before releasing a quick wrister toward the net. The puck struck Bahl squarely in the back of the helmet, dropping the six-foot-six blueliner to the ice.
As Bahl crumpled and Flames goalie Dustin Wolf lost track of the puck while most players were left a bit paralyzed by the situation, the puck bounced right back to Chytil, who calmly collected it and swept it into the open net for a 2–0 lead.
Bahl left the ice visibly shaken, did not return to the game, and left Flames head coach Ryan Huska addressing the situation postgame and pointing to that moment as the game changer on Thursday.
“It was an unfortunate play on their second goal,” Huska said. “That was a tough one for us to give up. … The next goal we gave up, we missed a grade-A chance in front of the net, we missed the net, and they ended up coming back with that breakaway, and that was pretty much it. The game got away from us after that.”
The goal capped a chaotic stretch that turned the game in Vancouver’s favor. Just minutes later, Chytil struck again to make it 3–0.
The brace marked Chytil’s seventh career two-goal game, and his first since joining the Canucks in the offseason trade that sent J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers.
For Chytil, who missed the final two months of last season with a concussion, scoring twice in his return to the ice seemed to be a meaningful moment.
“I just want to be the best version of myself,” he said. “This was the first game, and there’s still room to work on so many things. I can be happy until midnight that we won, and tomorrow is another day.”
Vancouver head coach Adam Foote, who earned his first win behind the bench, praised the 26-year-old’s resilience and timing.
“He’s a big piece for us,” Foote said. “For him to be healthy and contribute like that is huge.”
The Canucks will visit the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday for their second game of the season, with puck drop scheduled for 10 p.m. ET.
