4. The fans (customers) have all the power to DEMAND BETTER.

You have every right to enjoy mediocrity, and to keep buying the merch, and to keep driving 10 hours round trip to proudly cheer on a sub-standard product.

We have every right to vent our misery with what promises to remain sub-standard for as long as lovely lady Gayle is alive, and beyond.

This forum is not just a place to masturbate over someone making the Pro Bowl, who hasn’t even gotten into the “PLAYOFFS?!?!?” It’s a place where we can exchange our points of view about a team that has all the potential in the world to WIN IT ALL, and yet, is being run into a swamp of irrelevance.

It’s just a game. As soon as many of us “log off”, we have lives outside of this multi-million dollar failing “entertainment” enterprise.

He doesn't know about logging off because he never has. He just sits hitting the refresh button until he sees a response worth berating someone over. If he doesn't find one after about 5 minutes he just responds to himself multiple times.
You will know on the rare occasion when he logs off because it’ll be preceded by weeks of bragging about some cheap ass cruise he's about to take.

Between that and hitting the UN-IGNORE button, and spray painting his tutu and pom poms black and gold, he must be a busy man.

Klint Kubiak loves his tight ends and if Brock Bowers is there at 14 we should grab him. If not, there should be some good tackles left on the board. We need to prepare for Ram's retirement and/or Penning's limitations. Right now, I have zero confidence in our tackles.

Kendrick Bourne
A soon to be 29 year old coming off a ACL injury. 6 years in the league and 20 starts. No thanks


Tyler Boyd got a lot on wear on him, turns 30 this year.
His salary will be far higher than you want to pay on a short term player

Jennings is the one of them 3.


Don't sign old players
Especially on back loaded deals

Would be stupid to go TE imho. No point in offensive weapons if you can't keep tne QB off his backside.

His contract is not the worst part. Its the team that gave him the contract, what his contract means for us, with our cap situation. If any other team had given him the contract they could pull the rip cord and escape it before paying him $40 million 2025 or $50 million in 2026. The $50 million in 2026 was even discussed as not being real, effectively a void year, looking at the modest cost to bail on the deal at that point, which would be leverage to renegotiate at a more reasonable number if it was working out. But with the way the Saints manage the salary cap starting every year $100 million over the cap and restructuring every deal, we can't afford the dead cap that comes with pulling the rip cord on a deal this big, because that modest sum to get out of the deal if needed increases with every restructure. For any other team, Carr's contract would be a roll of the dice that is done in 2 years if it fails. For the Saints, its ride or die for the long term on Carr being elite, and that is what makes it a disaster. DeShaun Watson's deal is fully guaranteed, making it a disaster. The truth is that Derek Carr's deal is really fully guaranteed too, not because the language of the contract prevents Carr from ever being cut, but because the the state of the Saints salary cap and the way they manage it prevents him from ever being cut. But at least Watson's contract expires and the Browns will not be inquiring about an extension. With Carr, an extension in 2027 is highly probable to avoid what will be a $60 million or so dead cap hit at the time if he is not extended just after restructuring his 2025 $50 million salary to kick the can on another $40 million of it.
