Not Only that rez, but any team trading for a thomas is taking on a 23 mill cap hit next year AND a 24 mill the year after. That’s for a guy who hasn’t hardly played in 2 years. Who is going to trade assets to take that contract?

It is what it is. Saints have invested in core group of players that are not able to stay on the field. If they can ever get on the field together there is a solid foundation there. We gotta hope so because that’s where we are.

I’m not on the “blow it all up” train. It’s too much talent.

Coaching must improve. Game planning, focus & discipline (foolish penalties & turnovers). What does Prime always preach to his student athletes? .."practice with a purpose". IMO losing Ceedy, Malcolm Jenkins (retired) & Marcus Williams was a big deal on defense.

I don't see much chemistry on the back end with Maye & HB.

Unfortunately, we don't look like we have the killer instinct anymore. It left when Payton retired I guess. DA is too passive. Way too passive! I heard someone recently saying that he's a lieutenant not a general. I think that's a spot on assessment.

It seems like that leadership Jenkins provided is definitely missed.

Hmmm

I recall being told that despite all the turnover in a single offseason, communication issues wouldn't be a problem...

Despite all the aforementioned problems, the Saints are still in the hunt for the NFC South... Incredibly!

DA becoming head coach really ruined a top 5 defense.

The entire defensive backfield have been a severe disappointment.
