I don't not know if you guiys have seen this or not, if you did sorry for posting it again.

Unsung Heroes: Cream rising to the top

Mickey Loomis, general manager, New Orleans Saints

Loomis has lots of help on the football-evaluation side from his staff, but he is the one constant in the Saints organization. He has been there through the bad times as well as the great run New Orleans is presently on. The Saints are the only team in NFL history to go from a 13-loss season to the conference title game in one year.

The single most important thing Loomis did in the past year is hire Sean Payton, followed by signing Drew Brees and drafting Reggie Bush. The Saints have the No. 1 offense in the NFL and close to $28 million in salary-cap space for next year. Believe me, under Loomis, New Orleans suddenly is a very desirable place to play.

I did not know the Saint had so much cap room. I hope they use some of that on the D next season.
