When it comes to cap relief,Over the Cap shows that 2016 will be a good year for us. It's like that year is a release valve for all the backloaded contracts.I wonder if Loomis purposely planned it that way?

Read all the headlines you want.

The Saints are in a good position. Better than advertised.

We will sign 2-3 key free agents AND draft well this year.

I love the optimism!

Think about it.

Aside from 2012 (no head coach) and 2014 (no clue), this team has made the playoffs 5 of 7 years.

2010 - Lost wild card by 5 points (away)
2011 - Lost divisional by 4 points (away)
2012 - No HC
2013 - Lost divisional by 8 points (away)

2014 was a kick in the nuts to a coach who had admittedly become somewhat complacent.

People were fired. Reinforcements were hired.

Is there anyone you fear more than a rejuvenated Sean Payton?

Checklist:

Figure out Ingram's market value. Other teams will bid, hopefully we can match. If not there's plenty of RBs in the draft.

Fix the O line. Need a Guard, need a Center.

Fix the D line. Need a run-stuffer and depth.

Fix the LBs. Need youth and athleticism. Inside and outside.

Fix the secondary. Need a true #2 CB. NOW.


We could go into training camp with some very interesting pieces.

Give Brees another 2 seconds.
Limit the run.
Limit the deep plays.
Tackle well.
Create a few more turnovers.


I'm digging 2015 already....
