Sports are entertainment, and the Saints are embracing that by doing all they can to maximize their resources. You don’t have to pay interest on future cap space or win more games for having unspent cap space. You play to win the game and that extends to the front office.

We can agree or disagree on whether Carr is the right guy for the job, and not every team has the appetite to pay out a bunch of signing bonuses every year, but it’s not a moral failing to try and win now. In an industry where few people are fortunate to hold the same job for even three years, the only real choice is to live in the moment and compete on Sundays.

Fox Sports’ Nick Wright couldn’t be more wrong about the Saints and the salary cap

That is Nicks role on the show and I think he comes by it naturally. Guy is walking talking repository of sports fact and statistics and can but together a strong counterpoint or position to Kevin Broussard’s commentary or for them comment on his narrative. Good show really enjoy when Nick does not go to the absolute Darkside on issues.

Hey it’s an opinion show and you get hear all sides of the issues.
