You're Sean Payton

Whilst I applauded the Jimmy Graham trade because we got Max Unger, it didn't change the fact that we just crippled ourselves financially in the space of a year because Payton had a change of heart.

Granted I think Brees is a better QB since we traded Graham, but from Graham, to Byrd, to Fleener, to CJ Spiller. How many guys are we going to sign for huge contracts that don't deserve it or will just get released/traded and leave a load of dead money on the books.

That dead money ($41 million) is now off the books. That is history. It has no effect whatsoever with the franchise moving forward. It is irrelevant. The whole point of the thread is about looking to the future.

Very true it has no bearing moving forward, but it has played a major part in my opinion in the failure of the last 2 seasons especially.

Fair point though, let's hope those failures are behind us.
