New Orleans Saints salary cap situation heading into 2021

I’m just getting over my hangover. Never seen a flat offense like the saints in a playoff game year after year. Our oline for some reason is just plain stale. Is it because Tampa finally realized that Drew can’t throw deep anymore. Daring us to beat them deep. The first 3 points just broke me by the saints could not put it in the end zone 2018 all over again. Sorry Drew couldn’t do it for us I’m going to miss him, but I’m optimistic; we’ll lose some quality depth but retool in draft and (has beens) in free agency. Winston may just hang around for the starting job after Payton figured out taysom is struggling to make reads . I’m kinda excited to move on in saints chapter. This team will not go 7-9 next season. It’s built we just have to maintain.

It’s how I feel also. It’s a good team, in need of one QB that can run the entire playbook. Getting $100,000,000.00 off the books is going to be tough though, very tough. I’m anxious to see how the Saints attack it!

Exactly , the guy we’re going to miss is t-Rex he’s gonna get some serious coin. D-port and graderson will make out just fine. Kwon. ? Thor was the laughing stock this morning on Get- Up sports show he’s was atrocious wtf with Baun man another Bust draft pick? We are still a solid club . This draft is overstocked with talent with all the opt outs and early declares . We need to hit a grand freakin slam in the draft.

Pretty ugly reading
Show how they can easily make space but its just going to lead to more and more years of limited space to rebuild unless the cap takes some massive jump or players salaries decline steeply

Re: New Orleans Saints salary cap situation heading into 2021

Well, one of the few things consistent in life is change. We all new it was coming. Honestly, for so many years I found myself watching our organization work through the labyrinth of the salary cap and often time being impressed how were able to get things to work....Loomis has a reputation of getting it done year after year, troll any forum from the south, people can't believe how we are able to do it. Yes, I'm a little masochistic, but I'm looking forward to seeing how this goat rope/circus plays out. I trust Loomis, to put a competitive product on the field. Didn't say power house or all world, but we probably wont be dog crap.

I'll be honest, i would rather be dog crap for a season or two than be a Jeff Fisher 7-9/8-8 team. Them teams get stuck in the mud, too good for a to get the best draft picks and to crap to ever make a run. The difference in a top 7 pick and 15 is massive most years,especially in the 2/3 rounds. Gives you that chance to get a haul of picks in a trade aswell.

Is it already time for the time honored annual "Saints are in real CAP trouble next year" article? Then ML restructures deals and does his normal wizardry that allows us to bring in prized free agents and continue to be good.

Yawn.

I hear ya, and a lot of truth there......but an ass load of picks doesn’t guarantee success. A 10-6 even a 9-7 gets Ya a seat in the dance more often than not, where as 4-12 gets zippo. Some teams perennially have a lot of picks and don’t do sickum, some teams aka Seahawks get value and develop talent. The old days, pre Jim Mora, brought a lot of pain and we had plenty of draft picks each year.

I disagree, I want the Saints to win every time they take the field - you play the game to win.
