New Orleans Saints salary cap squeeze

Expressing concern over the salary cap is hardly panic; what I'd ask...

Have you seen the decline in this team these past five years?

Do you think there is no correlation whatsoever?!?

I'd like to see Drew return the faith he was shown when first signed with a questionable shoulder and a mid-tier quarterback BEFORE Payton's system...

C'mon Drew, be a winner like Brady and be a team player...

The decline hasn't been 5 years. We were 13-3 just 2 years ago. Last year and this year is the decline due to aging OL and injuries on the D. We have a lot of young guys that should be much better next year. If Drew wants to be able to walk and eat solid food after retirement, he will sign a home town deal extension for 3 years which will help solidify the OL and maybe sign some help on the D.

It's almost verbatim what I'm thinking.

Buds, 13-3 was more than two years ago, brother...

Yeah, I think we finally have had a good draft...

But the FA signings have really sucked balls...

And this year to year, kick the can, band-aid fix for the salary cap has got to be addressed...

Brees will restructure an extension basically the same as that of Brady. And Brady was no team player in that deal, either. He got his.
