Don’t trade up just to get a QB to get one. In this division a sub par team can compete for a division title (see ATL and TB) with the RIGHT coaches in place. So yes get rid of DA and find the guy of the future now and let him be responsible for building this team the way he wants.

The Saints can only ease out of their cap situation and it will take several years. Sad but true, most of their contracts cost additional cap space to get out of. Dead cap money is only part of the issue, the real problem is having to come up with more cap space that already isn't there in order to release someone from the roster. Then when considering Loomis is already 67, it's very possible the current accounting practices continue, I doubt he cares about rebuilding at this point.
