Kamara is now holding out

AG, Happy birthday my friend! Be safe & healthy. Difference of philosophies here, and I don’t agree with you. Anomalous year or not, right now the Saints are $39MUSD over the cap for next year, and it could be as much as $64MUSD. At some point in time the bill comes due, for everyone, and every organization. We all know ppl who live for the day only, and it’s just a matter of time before they’re bankrupt, been married three times, have two kids (non-custodial) paying $1200.00 a month in support which they can’t afford and are living in their parent’s basement at the age of 52. (This isn’t me!! , lol, yes I’m 52, but married only once, never again, ever, and thankfully have no kids). Organizations make the same stupid mistakes, very little difference between cap management and being fiscally responsible for a individual checkbook.

I just do firmly believe in one critical player at a pos’n of need is vastly more important than a full stable of draft picks. That being said, lol, the RW#34 trade was quite a bit excessive, and demonstrative of the fact that one player, alone, does not make a team.

I agree with quality over quantity, especially when it comes to drafting. As for the cap numbers, this is an area of the game that gives me almost as much interest as the game on the field. Not quite, but to me is far more interesting than personnel acquisition or roster structure as some of my other friends here enjoy far than myself. You can not look at future cap numbers as locked in stone. I'm sure you know that, already. There is currently $181 million on the books in base salaries for the 2021 season. The vast majority of that is subject to restructure. I pointed out earlier the accounting logic behind kicking that can and this is a huge hunk of can that can be kicked. There is an additional $11 million plus in roster bonuses that can be converted instantly without any input from the player.
