Honestly no point in drafting impactful players, because Loomis just let's them walk when contract time happens anyway.

Marcus Williams and Trey Hendrickson should still be on this team. We hit the jackpot considering where we drafted them and yet they walked away and we got zero compensation.

Can't keep players who want fair play when you decided paying Drew Brees and Terrin Armstead 24.5ml last year was a good idea.

They need rid of these stupid void years and constant restructures on so many players


Saints Dead cap
2022 33ml
2021 49ml

A d it's not like they've even been clearing the books like Atlanta did last year. It's just constant mismanagement to keep the gang together for another run. It's essentially lead to losing good young players to sign slightly cheaper older vets like last year

This ^^

Losing good players because of cap mismanagement. Exactly.

Look the Roby/Jackrabbit trades. Cuts Jenkins due to cap to then send a 3rd round pick to pick up another vet to replace him.

Gave Peat such a bad contract tbey have to keep restructuring it to get under the cap meaning g you have to keep pricing yourself out of keeping him.

The front office reminds me of those scouting/management teams in all sorts of sports that begins to believe its own hype about how clever they are at cap/scouting and end up just messing everything up.
