I am against 90% of what Loomis does not 100%. A broken clock is right twice a day. The compensation we received for Payton was reasonable and in line with my expectations, maybe even on the higher end of the medium of range of what would not surprise me. Loomis did not blow it in that trade.

I hate the Carr deal, and the Peat and Thomas deals, and I think our bad cap situation forces us to keep bad players and replace good players with discount versions, but I like that some of the discount versions we got as defensive replacements are not old, and not so injury prone that any chronic injuries have been brought to my attention. I don’t see us as a contender for a ring in 2023 so I am glad we did not load up on aging / injury / suspension prone vets ala Landry, Mathieu, Maye. Williams is not young but he is cheap and he is younger than Ingram.

I am glad we have $16 million under the cap. I hope we dont spend it on a risky player.
