Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 
We always knew the offense would look and function differently with a new QB at the helm, now it's likely going to be completely different with a new HC.

I wonder if Pete Carmichael stays and has more control over the offense.

And as much as i wouldn't want to do it really i would listen to offers on the older players aswell. They can clear over 30ml of the 70ml cap in Michael Thomas and Cam Jordan alone. Peat/Robey both trade assets if they went into a full rebuild and you would be around 22ml over with 4 moves.

Obviously they would all need replaced you would have to be looking at some decent picks. Would get a new regime off to building its own team, especially if Payton wanted back in before the 2023 season and the draft picks that would bring in.

Really do believe they shouldn't re-sign Mr. Glass, Armstead for the uninitiated...

If we move CantGuardMike, I'd be sure I was signing a competent veteran to replace him as well as securing multiple first, second day draft picks...

There are teams so desperate for a G/T I'd give Peat up for a 6th rd pick in a re-sign and trade (min. 1st year cap hit) just to get rid of that albatross...

I'd designate Malcolm Jenkins a post-Jun 1st cut, take the $3.95M cap hit, save $7.75M there...

Ruiz is another bust I'd try to get at least a 4th rd pick being he's on a rookie contract; problem is moving him would be cost prohibitive without a sign and trade...

And no one is gonna want him at this time...

Sean Payton has left a helluva mess and hamstrung future roster moves...

I'd keep Cesar one mo season but he's performed as a backup.

Not a "bust", however, he's starting to look like one :rolleyes:.

Still a head scratcher pick, especially in the 1st round.

You're kinder than I am when it comes to 1st round picks...

My standard is first round picks should be immediate starters, with maybe the exception of QB being given some extra acclimation time...

With McCoy in place doing well, it just made no sense - the move to bring in Ruiz like that had Sean's fingerprints all over it...

Do you think the Saints personnel underestimated the ceiling with McCoy moving to the center? I think they did ...

And I'm with on 1st rounders ... they need to be Day 1 starters. Day 1.

With CSP now "retired", I'll be extremely curious to see what position we target on Day 1 of the 2022 draft.

K, you mean based on his rookie year, deciding to move McCoy to guard and taking Ruiz?

McCoy has the goods for a terrific, active, get out in front and ploy the field Right Guard...

But felt he performed fine as a rookie Center, and had a ProBowl ceiling within him...

Really feel the Ruiz Experiment, moving McCoy to RG was another of Sean's Double-Double Reverse calls; Sean's Personnel Skills have been less than average...

The GM position really needs to be strengthened with Veto power of the HC given back to the GM; the Mickey Loomis Yes Man schtick has needed to go...

Agree with all this - we never lined up on Armstead tho, until now, sort of. I would love to keep him. But I'm sure not breaking the bank or sacrificing another position to compete with the offers he will probably get.
