The New Orleans Saints trade for Devaughn Vele has been a complete bust so far this year. Trading a 2026 fourth round pick and 2027 seventh round pick for Vele was viewed as a high price at the time and nothing has justified the trade. However, all of that is set to change as Vele is in-line for more snaps after the Saints shipped off Rashid Shaheed to the Seattle Seahawks. Kellen Moore reassured fans of this in his presser on Tuesday.
The problem with Vele is a mix of an alarmingly low snap count and a lack of production.
