I find it interesting that the age of the Saints roster is brought up as an argument by some detractors. The average age of the Saints roster is 27.17 years. The league average is 26.54 years of age. 31 of the 32 teams have an average age of greater than 26 years, with only one team, the Rams, averaging under 26 years of age (25.91). Let's also not forget that those Rams finished with the 5th worst record in the league this past season.

I was referring to players like Cam. We keep pushing money into the future on our core players and eventually the bill comes due and we end up eating tens of millions of dollars. I'm not saying it's not a good system. It's just one of the drawbacks to a good system.
