Maybe. Just maybe our new coaches know how to teach and develop the skills the players haven't been taught yet. Teaching concepts is essential for a team transitioning offensive philosophies. Penning always had that lost look in his eyes when he was on the field. I don't think he understood how to execute his assignment on the field. These new coaches might actually be competent!

We are about to go into free agency and I have a strong feeling that we'll invest in a DE and OT in the first week to shore up the trenches.

Wait the Saints did something responsible? Nope, it was a typo, they max restructured. They should also correct the Khai Hartley quote to ‘just because you can do something does mean you should.’

Like I said in another post, I'd like to see us spend on a DE and DT in Free Agency.

DT Grover Stewart
DE AJ Epenesa

Haha this is hilarious: Saints almost made a responsible decision in restructuring Cameron Jordan's contract.

Kind of like the time Mickey Loomis almost quit drinking.

While this move saves cap it has more to do with Maye's availability and the availability of replacements out there in free agency.

We already have a YOUNG CHEAP replacement on the team.

Also, Maye's availability has been identical to Lattimore's availability the late two seasons. Both totaled 17 games over 2 years, 10 games one season, 7 another. And again we have an internal younger replacement.

You are right about Howden. I need to see more from him before I know what we have. We need to draft the replacements for our aging/expensive vets and that's going to be hard to do with only two picks in the first four rounds.

We have proven that we can find contributors later in the in the draft. On the other hand, I'm sure that several of the four fifth round picks we have will undoubtedly be traded away to move up in the draft. I don't want to trade all of our late round picks to move up unless someone slips in the draft we just have to have.

Here's how teams that use the antiquated cap management methodology make cap adjustment moves.
