Although it can all blow up and not happen there is almost a deal in place at least verbally. Mutiple ones and twos. And many future 3rd and 4th rounders. Kamara is in the trade which is a major piece from the bengals perspective. Other starters involved.in the deal as well. Bengals are trying to get Lattimore and thats one one player were not budging on so i thinks the snag right now. The source been pretty accurate on our board. Joe B is a hero here in the boot but man that seems like too much to me. What u guys think of a deal like that?

Here are my "gut feeling" observations to your post:

• New Orleans has excellent food.
• From the Saints' perspective, keeping Joe Burrow in Louisiana makes sense and his style isn't significantly different from what Drew Brees does now.  He would almost seamlessly fit into your offense.
  
• You have a general manager.  That must be nice.
  
• Picks and players?  Intriguing.  The 1999 near-deal with the Saints and Mike Ditka only involved the Bengals receiving picks.  Picks and players might pique Mike Brown's interest a little -- but not much.  Look up "stubborn" in the dictionary and you won't find a definition, just a photo of Mike Brown. 
• Including Marshon Lattimore in the deal makes sense because the Bengals are still weak in the secondary but trading Alvin Kamara to Cincinnati doesn't sound logical considering Joe Mixon is on the roster already.  This point makes me think the Saints' "insider" might be spreading unfound rumors.
• Mike Brown loves a "bell cow" quarterback.  He didn't give up Akili Smith to New Orleans and he's very unlikely to give up Joe Burrow either.
