Yeah; doomed from the first day of the new league year...

Maybe, just a little premature?!

I think ol' man Benson got tired of Loomis and Payton wasting so much money and put his foot down.

Or maybe everyone who signed today; got ungodly amounts of money... I mean Olivier Vernon 5 year 85 million something like 50 guaranteed, seriously?!

We sure did need to address several holes prior to the draft; it is understandable to be a little discouraged we were not able to at least address one singular position...

My genuine concern, fear is that we're going to reach and bust in this draft...

No, but it's discouraging that Loomis has managed the Saints Salary Cap no better than most Americans manage their credit card debt moving money around pay period to pay period...

This season there really isn't much available space without redoing several contracts...

For example, Brees/Condon stated they'd love to extend the contract...but at 20 mil/year!!!

Brees/Byrd/Browner/Junior - reality of those deals is just sinking in for us Saints fans...

If we were in major city...heads would've rolled...

7Mil per year. WTF.

brees84 · 03-09-2016, 07:11 PM

Trevathan got 7mil per year. Damn. I wish we signed him instead of Fleener.

Just Say No to Fairley, he would be a nuclear bomb to this young locker room

I think I'm with you on that one. It seems like a bad idea to bring him closer to home (Mobile, AL) where he's been arrested more than once.
