The 2015 Saints already have $160 million committed to their cap. That’s without new deals for several starters who will be unrestricted free agents, including Mark Ingram, Jonathan Goodwin, and Parys Haralson. That’s about $9 million more committed to their 2015 cap than any other team.

Somebody is worse at this whole cap game than Marty Hurney and happens to be in our division?

A feel good piece indeed.

It was like reading a "How to GM" book by Marty Hurney...

 

I loved it.

TL;DR

And we should be in pretty good shape by then, as long as Rivera is not still hanging around.

The Patriots are the only team that hasn't went through cycles over the last 15 years. Pretty much every other team is up and down. 3-5 year window to compete for a title, then 2-3 year rebuild process. Rinse and repeat.

Carolina was a legit contender from 03-05. Then they retooled and had another window in 08-09. Unfortunately several of those years the team suffered a bunch of crucial injuries.

The Saints have ran their course and need a rebuild. It's even worse because Brees is at the end of his career. They'll be the Aints again before you know it.

"This is, truthfully, a team built to self-destruct upon the expiration of Drew Brees. Brees's deal, whose cap hit increases from $18.4 million to $26.4 million next year, runs through the 2016 season."

Into the toilet until another natural disaster brings the league on their side
