A WASTE OF MONEY? It's Byrd Or Bust For the Saints Going Forward

I'm convinced that Loomis was drunk off his ass or incredibly high for most of 2014. That draft was an abomination and the Byrd and Galette contracts were crazy.

Maybe there is really something wrong with Bensons mental state. Rich people don't get rich by throwing away money. Loomis has thrown away a ton of money in the past two years. I would question how he feels these investments and decisions will pay off

Too early to tell. He didn't really cost us much at all last year (3.5 mill) and won't cost us much this year (5 mill). Its next year that the mega cap hits occur.

And I'd heard from Loomis's own mouth that they always have a bit of protection built into his contracts so its never as bad as it looks on the contract sites. He said they usually have several options if a high dollar player doesn't work out.

2016 10.9
2017 11.7
2018 looks to be the earliest time to bail if this stays south.
12.4 cap with 4.6 dead

This dude needs to get on the field already. Sick of this

Maybe this is another example of Benson losing touch as he'd never have allowed these busted contracts to happen...

Guess winning a Superbowl buys you some extra cred with the boss...

You can't make the club if your always in the tub.

If Byrd gets healthy it will be fine. If Byrd doesn't and Phillips plays well it will be fine. If Phillips don't I'll be screaming for Warren over any other FS on the team. Warren is a natural.

Byrd is questionable. If he doesn't produce at a pro bowl soon this will be Loomis's worst move ever and will be a salary cap disaster for the Saints limiting their ability to function in free agency.

When he's healthy he needs to stay on the bench so he can get eased back in, we cannot disrupt the chemistry.
