Brees is still under guaranteed contract. So cutting him he still hits our cap by like 15 million at the least (I don't have the chart in front of me) and we WON'T EVEN HAVE HIM to play. So he'll still be guaranteed money from us and can pick up a huge contract elsewhere and make double salary. It's stupid.

If we really wanted to get rid of Brees, ask him to restructure, and if not, DON'T resign him after next year. Otherwise, cutting him lose is the stupidest thing we could do. Just sayin'.

We really can't afford a defense because we wasted HUGE cap on flunkies like Byrd and Browner. Byrd is the MOST disturbing for his lack of production vs. what he is paid. Browner is just disturbing in general, but gets paid less than Byrd. It's sad, cutting both would improve our team, but cutting Byrd (at least) is another guaranteed contract that will hit our cap. STUPID!

We should NEVER have let go Roman Harper or Tracy Porter for that matter. Both are productive in the NFL and don't get paid as much as some of our dummies do!

Thats what I am saying and also why I dont think the problem lies with Loomis. It hasnt been a matter of not being able to afford a defense, Loomis always finds the money to sign one or two big names. The problem is once Loomis finds that money it gets spent on underachieving players. If anything maybe Loomis needs to have more power so he can have some say in who gets signed and who doesnt. At the very least let him have the power to fire some of these scouts and hold a few people accountable. Its obvious Payton wont. Look at Vitt, McMahan, etc. They should have been long gone.
