And you keep throwing out this $65 million figure. This isn't the past. Dead money is not an issue THIS year nor will it be an issue anytime in the future. The Saints had four major bad personnel situations that accounted for 90% of that dead cap. In the past. Deal with it. Move on. It is pointless to continue to dwell on something that is no longer an issue at all. |

But tell me, you have been pleasantly, um, un-pessimistic recently. Why the sudden doom and gloom again all the sudden? |

Re: Hook, Line , and Sphincter
Apparently dead cap prevented us from having the kind of CB depth that could survive losing our top 5 CB's. Because, you know, teams without a lot of dead cap have 8 or 9 starting caliber CB's.

Re: Hook, Line , and Sphincter
I think the OP is overrating the dead money problem. The dead money isn't a problem, it's just a potential symptom of the real problem - losing too often. Yes, we would be better served at getting our dead cap totals down in the future, but in reality is a small part of a bigger equation.

I think we have more talent now, but this was just a terrible job by our coach and front office. two years in a row we lead in dead money. It is crazy. grant it, the situation does looked to be good here on out, but a lot of wasted time for Drew from this. Saying anything else is being disingenuous. |
