Re: Off-season plan
The “Win Now” philosophy has caught up to the Saints. They need to start to shed some dead weight, regardless of the sacrifice they have to make. It would be ugly to watch but at least you can start from scratch. You can’t keep putting the same ingredients in and expect a better outcome.
Something has to give. And if the Saints still feel like they can field a contender with basically the same roster and a horrible cap, it’s gonna make the season even more underwhelming. |

Re: Off-season plan
In my opinion, 70% of our problems will be fixed if we address the O-line.
30% going to the pass rush. Its a 1 off-season fix, not a 3 year plan. Just my .02 |

Re: Off-season plan
Agree completely on all points, Danno. We have weapons on offense at all the skill positions and that includes Carr. We have playmakers on the defense and need to plug a hole here or there.

Re: Off-season plan
But those listed "old" players are still better than most players far younger. There is not a direct correlation between age and value. Demario Davis, for example, is one of the top LB's in the league today even at his supposed advanced age. The same can be said for players like Mathieu and Kamara. While Cam Jordan may seem like he has lost a step he's still drawing double teams as often as players ten years younger. Our problem isn't our older players, it's those younger players that can't stay on the field due to injury.
