But it doesn't have to haunt you for years. It can haunt you for only one year. That's my point. The Colts did this for years and years, pushing back and renegotiating deals. Then they bit the bullet, took a huge dead money hit, got rid of all that in one year, and the next season they went 10-6 and had the most cap room in the league the following offseason. When the time comes, the Saints are going to have to do the same thing.
