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. |

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. |
