I thought he was a very serviceable OG & took more criticism than was warranted.

To be fair, SP himself very openly criticized his performances and especially his level of effort IIRC.

Ramz deserves top dollar. He's produced at an elite level since Day 1.

Okay, so you're GM, and you've got a cap, would you move Ramczyk to LT and trade Armstead to regain cap space?

No I wouldn't. Are we 100% certain Brees (I think TA will be around as long as#9 is in the building) calls it a career after the season? IMO TA gets his deal redone this off season. If I ever had a real criticism of Loomis, it's resigning ANDRUS PEAT. Decent guard but constantly hurt & has already spent some time this season on the training table. His cap # (based on spotrac) is north of 11M next year & can't stay healthy. Is a pay cut in order? Restructure?

Guys like Kwon, Sanders & or Janoris gets their deals re done as well. Just those 3 guys can help "restructure" the cap alone.

T Rex (free agent in 2021)? Who knows however I'd let Rankins walk unless he's willing to take a discount. Marcus D is under contract so there's that. I'm also curious to see what happens to Thomas Morstead this off season as well.

BTW, Lattimore … he has his faults but I definitely want him a part of my team for years to come. Regression is debatable but he's a top 10 CB that is on a island against ELITE WR's every week. Other side of the island, we have guys in their 30's with nothing behind them.

Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Peat needs to stay on his feet and do his job! Blocking is why we pay him a ridiculous salary and he isn't earning it. Nowhere close to it in fact.
