Observations from Saints loss to Raiders in the Superdome

I have only seen the highlights today
Overall its really really bad. There is little cap flexability without doing the same damn thing that hasn't been working for the past 5 years. It leaves me feeling exactly the same as before, blow it up.

I would 100% start with Carr, we don't save anything by cutting him and i don't see the benefit of even giving him a post June cut as they still need to be cap compliant before his cut. So cut him immediatley. There is no upside to Carr at least with Rattler he is young and you can give him the starts and see if he has anything to work with. It won't happen as there isn't a cap benefit to keep him and cutting him and eating the dead money is a really bad look for Loomis. So he will still be here and having him start will probably end up guaranteeing the team 5/6 wins and just blowing a top 5 pick in a season that will be a disater either way.

2026 looks like the time when they will have the ability to start sorting the mess out.
