Let the Aints purge brgin

The best part is that most of their money is tied up in mediocre and/or old/declining players with no cap room to improve.  Its a lose-lose whether they keep em or cut em.

I might be crazy but isn't mortgaging the future because you have one good player close to retirement just a bad idea?

 

 

for everybody...but the Saints.

Saints fan: But..but...we're bringing in teh best free agents and Bressus will give back all his money to vet minimum! 

 

 

Good luck with that. LOL

new orleans doesn't have to worry about locking a franchise quarterback up and they're going for broke trying to win a super bowl so being in an insane cap situation doesn't hurt them as bad as the panthers. they know they're going to implode when brees is done and i don't think it's a crime to point that out. the broncos are about to go through the same thing.

nobody is trying to rationalize poo captain edgy. we have a good general manager and it's not up for debate so nobody really needs to get defensive anyway. everyone watched the saints and their gold studded roster miss the playoffs while the shoestring panthers held together with duct tape won the division and a playoff game.

That good GM has done the exact same thing everybody is hoohing and hahing about New Orleans doing.

You can't put a consistently successful team on the field if you have loads of cap space. Signing good players to "win now" is a pretty common tactic across the league which yields wins, whereas the prevailing (and accurate) philosophy is that you can simply reorganize cap when you need to.

Hey guess what we also just cut an overpaid, aging, average RB and as I recall everyone here celebrated.
