For instance, why did we re-sign McCown? He's a veteran QB who seems to be very replaceable... do we not think we can find a cheaper alternative at the backup QB spot?

Ingram really has me concerned... guy has a breakout year in his contract year, but was never able to put it together or stay on the field in previous years... and we give him a multi-year deal?

We re-signed Shayne Graham (lol), have a $1M fullback on the roster (Lorig), and have one of the highest paid punters in the league. We also still have Hawthorne with a giant cap number that isn't justified by his play.

I'm also surprised that Brees hasn't stepped up at this point and offered to help...

I guess my concern is about the priorities... it seems we cut some core guys while keeping below-average performers. I clearly don't have all the information that Loomis & Co. have, but this offseason has a different feel than others in the past.
Brees has offered to help already...the front office is choosing not to at this time. I think we still have Johnson at fullback also. I really believe the ZBS is why Ingram has delivered. It just so happened Sean decided to change it right before his contract year. I guess it was a last resort move to see if it would help and I believe it did. I know things are being shakin up a bit,but I do believe they have a plan. We needed change and we're getting it,and I for one am choosing to stay optimistic.
